After original US Air Force (USAF) requirements for the HH-60W Jolly Green II were overtaken by new threats in less than a decade – even before the first example of the rotorcraft was delivered – manufacturer Sikorsky is aiming to update the service’s Combat Rescue Helicopter on a rolling basis.
Sikorsky on 17 February said that HH-60W requirements written in 2012 and 2013 have since been overtaken by new threats – presumably weapons such as surface-to-air missiles fielded by Russia and China.
