flag The U.S. Coast Guard has awarded a sole-source contract to Sikorsky, a Lockheed Martin subsidiary, to develop new helicopters based on the Navy’s MH-60R Seahawk to replace aging MH-60T Jayhawks and MH-65 Dolphins. flag The new aircraft, expected to have 800-mile range and seven-hour endurance, will be tailored for Coast Guard missions like search and rescue and law enforcement. flag The procurement leverages existing MH-60R production and capabilities, with Sikorsky handling mission-specific modifications. flag The Coast Guard operates about 45 MH-60Ts and relies on modern cutters like the Legend-class to support helicopter operations. flag The move supports broader military modernization efforts and reflects long-standing Coast Guard-Navy aviation collaboration.
