LOCKHEED MARTIN AND TERMA SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE MARITIME HELICOPTER OPPORTUNITY IN DENMARK

LONDON, September 8th, 2009 -- Lockheed Martin [NYSE: LMT] and Danish aerospace and defense company Terma A/S today announced that they have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to explore opportunities associated with the potential sale of the U.S. Navy’s MH-60R multimission helicopter to the Danish Government.

The agreement, announced at the Defence Systems & Equipment International exhibition, follows the Danish Government’s June 2009 authorization to procure new ship-based helicopters to support Royal Danish Navy vessels operating in the North Atlantic and internationally. The U.S. Navy’s MH-60R multimission helicopter is a candidate solution for these maritime operations.

“Lockheed Martin and Terma will combine our complementary experience and skills sets should the Danish Government procure the U.S. Navy’s most advanced maritime helicopter,” said Marillyn Hewson, president of Lockheed Martin Systems Integration in Owego, NY. “Together, we can offer the Danish Armed Forces high quality technological and support services required to ensure mission and flight readiness of the MH-60R across the 30-year life of the aircraft.”

“Lockheed Martin and Terma share a long and beneficial history of working together in a close partnership, which includes the F-16, C-130 and F-35 programs," said Terma President and CEO Jens Maaløe. "We are therefore very happy and proud, that today with this MOU we extend this cooperation to also include Lockheed Martin Systems Integration - Owego. We very much look forward to combining both companies’ core capabilities on the Danish Maritime Helicopter program, and to investigating a number of other exciting business opportunities.”

Lockheed Martin Systems Integration – Owego is the rotary wing center of excellence for Lockheed Martin Corporation. The company has more than 35 years of experience as a leading mission systems integrator of maritime helicopters, including the British Royal Navy’s Merlin Mk 1 helicopter fleet, and two generations of U.S. Navy helicopters, the SH-60B and the MH-60R.

The MH-60R airframe is designed and built by Sikorsky Aircraft Corporation, with mission systems integration by Lockheed Martin. To date, the two companies have delivered 36 MH-60R aircraft to the U.S. Navy. In July, 2009, a U.S. Navy squadron of 11 MH-60R aircraft completed its first at-sea deployment during six months in the western Pacific with the USS John C. Stennis carrier strike group.

The U.S. Navy has established four of ten planned MH-60R squadrons, and intends to purchase 300 MH-60R aircraft over the next decade. Production plans include capacity for concurrent international sales.

The MH-60R replaces the U.S. Navy’s current fleet of SH-60B and SH-60F helicopters as part of the U.S. Navy’s strategy to reduce different type, model and series maritime helicopters with multi-mission platforms. The MH-60R can perform a wide range of missions from its primary missions of anti-submarine and surface warfare to secondary missions such as search and rescue, vertical replenishment, naval surface fire support, medical evacuation and communications and data relay.

Ah voila le Knighthawk MH 60 R. Et si on le prend, il sera livré rapidement. J'aime beacoup la commande Navy, 300

C'est ce genre d'helico qu'on a besoin pour notre marine et nos special marine ops.

C'est les français qui nous assistent pour la monter en puissance de nôtre aéronavale, je les voie mal mettre en place des hélico. US ...

Les troupes spécial Jordanienne sont formés par le GIGN..
Et pourtant elle dispose de matériel 100% Us

Quelques stages de formations avec les SAS et le GIGN ne veut pas dire formation complète !
les FS jordaniennes sont formé principalement par les US, ils viennent d'ouvrir un centre de formation commun avec l'US army avec instructeur US et tout le tralala...

quelle est le rapport avec l'armée danoise

tu as raison retour au sujet

No Danish Fighter Decision in 2009, Postponed Until 2010
	Denmark has pushed into 2010 a decision on replacing its F-16 fighters, and will buy only 25-35 new fighters, not 48 as previously planned. (no credit available) Denmark has postponed a decision on its combat aircraft replacement program, initially due at the end of this year, until 2010 at the earliest. The reason for the slippage is a new evaluation of the operational lifespan of the F-16 fighters now in service, showing they can continue operating until 2018 or later. "I would have liked a political agreement this summer, but we had to postpone, and now it appears that we will get an agreement sometime in the New Year. The most important thing is that we make the right decision, and I must live with the time period sliding. I would hate to be the one who made the wrong decision on the fighter," says Defense Minister Soren Gade. To date, no favourite has emerged in Denmark, unlike the Netherlands and Norway which have stated their preference for the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter. Politicians must now decide whether to buy the Saab Gripen NG, the Lockheed Martin JSF or Boeing's Super Hornet to replace the current F-16s once they are retired. Deliveries of the new fighters could slip to 2018 or 2020, depending on how long the F-16s can remain in service. "I have no favorite. Each of the three has its advantages. But you must be deaf, dumb and blind if you do not think it's important for the acquisition that we reduce from 48 to 30 the number of operational aircraft. I reveal no state secrets by disclosing that we will buy more than 25 and fewer than 35 new aircraft. " Denmark will now probably not buy 48 as previously stated. The Royal Danish Air Force currently has a fleet of 62 F-16 fighters, of which 48 are in first-line service.

Je comprends que les petit pays européens diminuent leur flotte après la disparition de la menace URSS et l'élargissement de l'OTAN, mais je ne pense pas qu'un pays même petit comme la belgique puisse à terme se passer de l'aviation de chasse. Car chaque pays membre de l'OTAN subit un certain nombre d'exigences en terme de capacités opérationnelles et est soumis à un cahier de charge.

Sources within the Danish government as well as the oposition says Denmark will not chose the SAAB Gripen as their new fighter. The choice will be between Lockheed Martin and Boeing

No one even talks about the Swedish alternative sources say

SAAB est déjà soumis à une forte pression, et si l'Inde et la Suisse se tourne également vers l'US ou d'autres fournisseurs, Ses jours en tant que fabricant de fighterplane est numéroté
