Zitat:Australian Defence Force Signs Contract for New Army Helicopter
MARIGNANE, France --- Eurocopter welcomes the signature today in Canberra of a contract for 12 MRH90 to the benefit of the Australian Defence Force. The contract was signed between the Australian Defence Materiel Organisation and Australian Aerospace, a Eurocopter subsidiary.
The Multi-Role MRH90 Helicopter was selected by the Australian Ministry of Defence after an intensive international competition. The first helicopter will be delivered in 2007, with all aircraft expected by 2009.
Plans are underway to assemble 8 MRH90s at the Australian Aerospace facility in Brisbane, where the company is already assembling 18 Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopters for the Australian Army.
Australian Aerospace Chief Executive, Joseph Saporito, said that this MRH90 contract will allow AA to inject more than 300 million AUD into Australian industry, including SMEs, making full use of the expertise and local capabilities developed in the frame of the ARH Tiger program.
“This translates into 150 highly-skilled Australian jobs.”
Mr. Saporito said local engineers will receive extensive training in Eurocopter’s center of excellence in Marignane, France. These engineers will provide a helicopter engineering base for export to the Pacific region.
