The NH90 is the 11 ton class, medium lift, multi-role military helicopter developed from NATO Staff Requirements, the result of an extensive European collaboration programme.
Two main versions are available from the core air vehicle: the TTH, Tactical Transport Helicopter, and the NFH, the naval version.The TTH operates in troop and cargo transport, casualty evacuation, search and rescue (SAR) / combat SAR applications. The spacious unobstructed cabin featuring a rear ramp and the comprehensive inventory of change role equipment allow complete flexibility for a multitude of applications. The NFH is designed primarily for autonomous anti-submarine hunting and control of anti surface unit threat missions. The advanced mission systems integration, a wide variety of sensors, a fully marinised airframe and effective weapons systems ensure the NFH provides unique capabilities to perform in the most demanding shipborne naval warfare missions. Use of advances in safety and crashworthy design, full fly-by-wire controls, composite fuselage and state-of-the-art avionics make the NH90 one of the most advanced military dedicated helicopters on the market today.
