NAVAIR launches Presidential helicopter replacement

Issue No. 23-24 | December 01-31, 2012

US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) has begun a fresh effort to find a new Presidential helicopter, with the release of a draft RfP to industry on 23 November. The Presidential helicopter replacement programme (VXX) will procure a new fleet of aircraft to replace the ageing VH-3Ds and VH-60Ns currently used to support the Presidential vertical lift mission.

NAVAIR is now seeking input from industry on a range of technical areas prior to the expected release of a formal RfP in mid-FY 2013. Likely competitors on the programme include AgustaWestland/Northrop Grumman; Boeing; EADS North America; and Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky.
