MH-60R Seahawk Denmark Delivery

On October 22, 2015, the U.S. Navy accepted the first two mission-ready MH-60R Seahawk helicopters slated for Denmark. This milestone marks the completion of Lockheed Martin’s installation of the aircraft’s advanced mission systems and sensors suite.

Denmark is the first European nation to join a global fleet of multi-mission Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk maritime aircraft. The Danish aircraft are configured for search and rescue or anti-surface warfare operations, including defending Danish interests in the North Atlantic, executing anti-piracy operations, and conducting other missions during international deployments. The last out of nine helicopters is expected to be handed over to Denmark by mid-2018.
