    As we reported in March, the Norwegian government chose the U.S. Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk as the new naval helicopter to replace the NH90 helicopter that Norway ceased operating in June last year.

    The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) reported that the U.S. State Department authorized a possible Foreign Military Sale (FMS) to the Norwegian Government for the Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk naval anti-submarine helicopters, and support equipment, $1 billion.
