Leonardo announced the signing of a contract with Italy’s Guardia di Finanza (Italian law enforcement agency) for the production of 22 new generation AW169M twin-engine helicopters.
The contract includes a comprehensive support and training package which could be further extended with optional services valued at an additional $112.5 million, the company said in a statement Monday.
The10-seat, 4.8 tonne aircraft will be used to perform a range of roles including patrol and reconnaissance, law enforcement, rescue and homeland security.
