Will Work With General Dynamics To Remanufacture Four Aircraft
Kaman Corp. has entered into a contract with General Dynamics Canada to remanufacture and upgrade four Kaman SH-2G Super Seasprite aircraft and provide support for the operation of a fifth aircraft for the Peruvian Navy. The program value to Kaman is expected to exceed $40 million.
Gregory Steiner, President Kaman Aerospace Group said, “We are very pleased to support this effort to provide the Peruvian Navy with the advanced capabilities of the Super Seasprite. This is an important milestone for Kaman as it will extend the length of the SH-2 program and provide additional long-term service and support revenues. In fact, upon delivery of these five aircraft to Peru, the SH-2 flying fleet will have grown by more than 40% in less than three years. We are pleased that Peru will become the latest military to place its confidence in the SH-2 platform and Kaman.”
The aircraft are being transferred through a Memorandum of Understanding between, the Peruvian Ministry of National Defense and the Government of Canada’s international government-to-government contracting organization, the Canadian Commercial Corporation (CCC). General Dynamics Canada is under contract with the CCC to lead this program and provide the Integrated Mission System for the aircraft.
“We are pleased to be working with Kaman Corporation on this important program” said Brian Fava, Vice President General Dynamics Canada. “The successful delivery of this upgraded aircraft will greatly enhance the Peruvian Navy’s ability to conduct modern maritime missions.”
The SH-2G Super Seasprite is an advanced maritime weapon system and proven day/night/all-weather multi-mission helicopter. The helicopter is currently operated by the Royal New Zealand Navy, the Egyptian Air Force and the Polish Navy.
