Paris 2011: Australian win spurs new export drive for latest Seahawk versions
Lockheed Martin has launched a new marketing drive to sell MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopters internationally.

Lockheed Martin has launched a new marketing drive to sell MH-60R/S Seahawk helicopters internationally. Last week it won a $3.2 billion deal to supply 24 MH-60R versions to the Royal Australian Navy.

As the mission systems integrator, Lockheed Martin takes basic airframes from co-prime contractor Sikorsky and adds sophisticated hardware and software. It has already completed 200 MH-60S utility versions for the U.S. Navy at the Sikorsky factory, and will soon deliver the 100th MH-60R version equipped for anti-ship and anti-submarine warfare from its own facility at Owego in upstate New York.
