Australian company Sikorsky Australia has been selected by the United States Navy to provide additional support to the Royal Australian Navy’s fleet of MH-60R Romeo multi-mission helicopters.
Sustainment for Australia’s fleet of 24 Romeo helicopters is delivered locally in Australia through a Foreign Military Sales (FMS) agreement with the United States Navy, which provides opportunities for Australian defence industry.
The helicopters were first acquired from the US Navy through the FMS process and entered into service in 2013.
This $10 million contract expansion will see Sikorsky Australia deliver more sustainment support and maintenance to Australia’s Romeo helicopter fleet at their state-of-the-art maintenance, logistics and repair facility in Nowra, New South Wales.
