Operational Configuration Approved By NAHEMA
The NH90 program has reached a major milestone with the
declaration of compliance for the NH90 TTH (Tactical Transport
Helicopter) variant’s Final Operational Configuration, This
marks the NH-90 TTH’s development completion, and enables
deliveries to begin before year-end in the helicopter’s full
operational definition.
“The milestone marks the most important achievement in the
life of the NH90 program. NH90, the ... largest military helicopter
program ever undertaken in Europe, offers now its full range of
operational capabilities to the military forces” stated Lutz
Bertling, the President and CEO of Eurocopter, which is a member of
the NH90 industrial team. “Completing the NH90 TTH’s
compliance process confirms this multi-role helicopter will meet
the specifications and operational requirements of the founding
customers.”
The declaration of compliance was issued by the NATO Helicopter
Management Agency (NAHEMA), which is the North Atlantic Treaty
Organization’s function that manages the NH90 acquisition for
the participating countries. With this go-ahead, the initial NH90
TTH variant in the final operational configuration is to be
delivered to the French Army. It will be followed by the startup of
deliveries in 2012 to Italy, Belgium and Germany.
The new-generation NH90 TTH is designed for use in a wide range
of demanding missions, including logistics and utility transport,
combat search and rescue, casualty and medical evacuation,
electronic warfare, special operations and counter-terrorism.
In its approved final operational configuration, the helicopter
offers a matured avionics system, allowing day and night missions
with no major restrictions; full military communications system
functionality for interoperability in foreign operations; a
complete set of technical publications; and the approval for
overseas deployments by ship.
