摘要

The Australian government has selected the Lockheed Martin/ Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk helicopter to fulfil the Royal Australian Navy's (RAN's) requirement for a newshipborne multi-mission platform optimised for anti-submarine warfare. Announcing the decision on 16 June, Defence Minister Stephen Smith said that the administration was proposing to buy 24 MH-60RS - in preference to the NH90 NATO Frigate Helicopter (NFH) offered by Australian Aerospace - at a cost of "just over" AUD3 billion (USD3.2 billion). "This new fleet of navy combat helicopters will replace the existing [S-70B-2] Seahawk fleet. We expect that to occur over the period 2014 to 2020," Smith told a media briefing in Canberra. He said that the MH-60R had been selected as the "low risk" option for several reasons: it is an updated version of the RAN's 16 existing Seahawks, its capabilities have already been proven in US Navy [USN] service and "we very strongly believe it is value for money".
