Bidders for the contract to supply anti-submarine warfare aircraft are likely to include Europe’s Airbus Group SE, whose NH90 Sea Lion multi-role naval helicopter marked its first flight last week; Sikorsky, a unit of Lockheed Martin Corp, and AgustaWestland, part of Italy’s Leonardo Finmeccanica SpA, which built the current helicopters.
The navy still has to assess and formulate its requirements for the replacement helicopters.
