Rheinmetall, Sikorsky Reach Teaming Agreement

Aftermarket Support Includes Training And Logistics In Germany

Rheinmetall Defence and Sikorsky Aerospace Services have signed a teaming agreement to provide long term training and logistics support to the German armed forces in anticipation of the introduction the Cyclone multi-mission helicopter into Germany. "With Rheinmetall being responsible for the In-Service-Support and Training for the CH-148 Cyclone we are convinced that a cost-effective, reliable and proven total solution can be provided to the German Navy. We were able to gather important information from our UAS Heron 1 project where Rheinmetall Defence provides the complete service for that platform in Afghanistan and we are eager to offer a similar good solution to the German Navy together with Sikorsky Aircraft Cooperation", said Ulrich Sasse, General Manager of Rheinmetall Defence Electronics GmbH in Bremen.

"This agreement with Rheinmetall is an important step in strengthening our future support capabilities in Germany. It is in line with our strategy to provide comprehensive aftermarket solutions where our key customers are located and where strong partners exist. It ensures we will have the infrastructure in place when the Cyclone is introduced to ensure the fleet maintains optimal readiness rates" said David Adler, president of Sikorsky Aerospace Services.

In a news release Monday, the companies said they will work together to lead a team of German industrial providers in creating robust maintenance, training and program support in country for the German armed forces. The Cyclone helicopter provides multi-mission capabilities including anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, and search and rescue. The aircraft is a derivative of the S-92 helicopter, which gets its basic design from the Black Hawk helicopter, a proven, rugged and durable aircraft.
