Norway to Add Six Sikorsky MH-60R Helicopters

The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin a contract to produce six multi-mission MH-60R Seahawk helicopters for Norway.

As per an official Pentagon press release, the contract is worth $364.3 million.

Designed and built by Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, MH-60R aircraft will enable Norway to perform multiple maritime missions, including search and rescue and coastal and offshore patrol.

Norway’s order marks the second MH-60R contract award in less than a month. On Oct. 12, the U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin a contract for eight Spanish Navy MH-60R aircraft.

A first-time operator of SEAHAWK helicopters, Norway is expected to receive all six MH-60R aircraft by 2027.
