Broadly speaking, the global helicopter market is currently facing a two-pronged assault. The military helicopter segment has been impacted significantly by continued defense budgetary pressures across most traditional markets, and a recent slide in global crude oil prices has impacted the demand for new civil helicopters as well as the level of activity for existing fleets engaged in the offshore oil & gas exploration sector. This situation has impacted industry OEMs significantly, many of which had been working towards strengthening the civil helicopter segment to partially offset the impact of budgetary cuts on the military segment. However, the medium- to long-term view of the market is promising given the presence of strong fundamentals and persistent, sustainable growth drivers. The market for military helicopters in particular is set to cross a technological threshold in the form of next-generation compound helicopters and tilt rotorcraft. Emergence of these technologies, expected to be set into motion and completed within the next decade, are likely to result in a significant expansion of the operational spectrum, force capabilities and performance. Aircraft arising from these new programmes may well see their conventional roles redefined, and thereby enhance the overall effectiveness of modern military operations. There are a number of strong and stable growth drivers for military helicopters globally, despite the continued challenges of funding and approval. A total of 20,790 military helicopters are currently in service in 153 countries, with a further 3,402 on order in over 60 countries. The most widely operated type is the S-70/UH-60, of which some 3,600 are in service, followed by the Mi-8/17, of which 2,400 are in operation. Between them, these two types represent 29% of the world military helicopter fleet.

MARKET OVERVIEW


North America operates the largest part of the world military helicopter fleet (30.2%), followed by Asia-Pacific (25.9%) and Europe (23.8%). However, in terms of orders, Asia-Pacific has the highest proportion (35.7%), with India alone accounting for 42% of the military helicopters on order in that region. Africa is also anticipating a huge increase to its regional fleet number. In Europe, Russia presently accounts for 43% of military helicopter orders.

U.K. (cont) • Following the HC3 work, the MoD ordered a further 14 of the US Army’s

latest-standard CH-47F Chinooks (including two war loss replacement machines), which it designated HC6s ( it had originally planned to procure 22, but this was curtailed on cost grounds). Deliveries of the HC6 began in December 2014 and were concluded in December 2015, leaving the UK with a total Chinook force of 38 HC4s, 8 HC5s, and 14 HC6 helicopters.

• As part of the Chinook buy for the RAF, the service transferred its 25

AW101 Merlins over to the RN to replace the Westland Sea King HC4 Commando platforms being retired in 2016 (reduced from 28 originally). The Merlin HC3/3As are to be upgraded to HC4 standard via the Merlin Life Sustainment Programme (MLSP) to enable them to fulfill shipborne operations. The RN will ultimately operate 19 HC4s and 6 HC4As, to be operated by 845 and 846 Naval Air Squadrons (NAS) at RNAS Yeovilton.

• Deliveries of full HC4 variants will begin in 2017 and continue until 2020

(with full operating capability (FOC) planned for March 2022). The Merlin is planned to remain in RN service until 2030.

• The U.K. MoD has confirmed it will continue to operate 7 Sea Kings in the

ASaC role until the third quarter of 2018 so as to maintain the capability until the new Merlin Crowsnest ASaC capability becomes operational on the Merlin in 2019.

• The US Naval Air Systems Command (NAVAIR) is looking for additional

customers for Bell Helicopter’s UH-1Y Venom and AH-1Z Viper helicopters, as production of the former begins to wind down for the US Marine Corps.

• Final deliveries of the UH-1Y utility transport are expected in fiscal year

2018, with production switching to the AH-1Z attack helicopter, which uses 85% common components. Bell has 166 of the helicopters still to deliver from orders for 160 and 189 of the models, respectively, and in 2015 secured a first foreign military sale of the AH-1Z, with Pakistan to procure up to 15.

• The programme office has documented interest from Australia, Bahrain,

Brazil, Croatia, the Czech Republic, Malaysia, Poland and the United Arab Emirates. Most are competitions, and the majority are for the AH-1Z.

first of 44 CMV-22B aircraft – which will be ordered in 2018 – will begin delivering from Bell’s final assembly and checkout facility in Amarillo.

• A report by the US Government Accountability Office (GAO) has revealed

the Sikorsky CH-53K King Stallion’s entry into low-rate production has again been delayed, this time by 8 months to February 2017.

• The US Marine Corps’ entire fleet of 147 Sikorsky CH-53E Super Stallion rotorcraft will be overhauled to address safety and availability issues that have plagued the fleet for more than two years.

• The US Air Force has a requirement to replace veteran UH-1N

helicopters. The service plans a competition for up to 72 aircraft, under a Huey recapitalisation effort funded in its FY2017 budget submission.

• The terms of the UH-1N replacement programme have been re-set, with

a new request for information (RFI) and draft system requirements document (SRD) issued to potential bidders on the 9th September 2016.

• The air force’s new request could potentially open the door for other

candidates including the Airbus Helicopters UH-72A, Bell’s UH-1Y and Leonardo’s AW139.

• The USAF plans to award the Huey replacement contract in fiscal year

2018, with aircraft to be fielded from 2021. • Boeing and Korean Air have signed a memorandum of agreement to

jointly develop the MD Helicopters MD500 into an unmanned attack platform.

• Bell Helicopter has unveiled an unmanned tilt-rotor, the V-247 Vigilant,

as it anticipates a future requirement from the US Marine Corps for a large, armed platform capable of operating from ships.

14

NORTH AMERICA



USA (cont)

• Vigilant production as early as 2023 is possible.

• The US Army is considering a future block upgrade to its AH-64E Apaches, although whether that will include a purchase of an “F” model or remanufacturing current aircraft has yet to be decided.

• The Army is set to obtain 690 “Echo” models through either new production or remanufacturing old AH-64Ds, which would prolong Apache production 2026. However, it may need to buy new Apaches or modernize the current model to bridge the gap between the AH-64 programme and Future Vertical Lift (FVL), the future rotorcraft planned to eventually replace it.
