Government of Canada Signs agreement with Sikorsky for CH-148

Canada announced that it has completed all required amendments to both the acquisition and long-term in-service support contracts with Sikorsky for the acquisition and maintenance of 28 CH-148 Cyclone helicopters for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF). These contract amendments are further to the Principles of Agreement announced in January 2014.
The amended acquisition will ensure the delivery of helicopters with operational capability to begin retirement of the Sea Kings in 2015.
In its final configuration, the CH-148 Cyclone will be one of the most capable maritime helicopters in the world. The CH-148 Cyclone will also be fully interoperable in a modern battle space, and will be able to concurrently conduct a full spectrum of anti-submarine warfare and anti-surface warfare in hostile, high-threat environments.
