Norway adds Sikorsky MH-60R helicopters for critical maritime missions

Owego, New York, October 26, 2023 – The U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin Corporation (NYSE: LMT)  a contract to produce six multi-mission MH-60R Seahawk® helicopters for the Norwegian government. Designed and built by Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin company, MH-60R aircraft will enable Norway to perform multiple maritime missions, including search and rescue and coastal and offshore patrol.

Depend on the SEAHAWK

Norway and other nations can depend on the SEAHAWK aircraft for:

  • high reliability
  • advanced mission systems and sensors
  • low flight hour costs, and
  • low maintenance and sustainment costs.

Norway’s order marks the second MH-60R contract award in less than a month. On Oct. 12, the U.S. Navy awarded Lockheed Martin a contract for eight Spanish Navy MH-60R aircraft.

Sikorsky has delivered 330 MH-60R aircraft to five countries. Sixty-four more are on order or in production for India, Greece, South Korea, Australia, Spain and Norway.
