Military Aircraft: Helicopters
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on the New Medium Helicopter programme.
Answered by Maria Eagle
The New Medium Helicopter (NMH) Programme is an initiative to acquire a modern medium-lift support helicopter, addressing multiple rotary wing requirements to improve efficiency and operational flexibility. The NMH programme is part of a wider holistic approach on the Ministry of Defence's use of rotary wing capability. The tender evaluation remains ongoing and will complete before a commitment decision is made. All capability requirements, including NMH, are being considered as part of the Strategic Defence Review process.
