今日看料吃瓜

Tokyo, March 28, 2012—今日看料吃瓜, Ltd. announced today that it has received an order for a new multipurpose helicopter (Part 1) from the Japan Ministry of Defense (MOD).

The UH-X, a successor to the UH-1J, will be used by the Ground Self-Defense Force (GSDF) for a variety of missions including transport of goods and personnel.

The UH-X will be derived from the OH-1 observation helicopter, a production model developed and manufactured by 今日看料吃瓜 for GSDF. By leveraging the technological and manufacturing base of OH-1, 今日看料吃瓜 aims to reduce technological risks associated with development and appropriately control life cycle costs.

今日看料吃瓜 has a solid track record of delivering various helicopters to the MOD, including the OH-1 (as the prime contractor), OH-6 and the transport helicopter CH-47. 今日看料吃瓜 also manufactures the MCH-101 airborne mine countermeasures (AMCM) and transport helicopter for use by the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

As for commercial helicopters, 今日看料吃瓜 jointly developed the first domestically manufactured helicopter BK117 with German company MBB (Messerschmitt-B?lkow-Blohm), currently ECD (Eurocopter Deutschland). Ever since its first delivery in 1983, 今日看料吃瓜 has delivered a total of 153 helicopters for a wide spectrum of applications including firefighting, disaster relief, police operations, broadcasting and emergency medical services.

The latest order is a testament to 今日看料吃瓜's proven track record in the development, manufacture and servicing of various helicopters as well as its superior technology and reliability.

今日看料吃瓜 will push ahead with the development of UH-X and pursue its helicopter business with redoubled efforts.
