The helicopters are rumoured to be replaced by an expanded fleet of Sikorsky-built MH-60R Seahawk/Romeo helicopters and the potential acquisition of 40 UH-60M Black Hawks.
The US Navy has contracted Lockheed Martin subsidiary Sikorsky to produce the additional helicopters over the coming years, with delivery expected between mid-2025 and mid-2026.
The fighter jets flew from Luke Air Force Base, Arizona and landed at RAAF Base Williamtown in NSW with the aid of a KC-30A refuelling aircraft.
Air Vice-Marshal Robert Denney said the number acquired would be a “decision for the government” but added it would be influenced by the earlier decision to cancel the purchase of 12 MQ-9B SkyGuardians.
The Boeing C-17A Globemaster III, ZZ177, departed at 5:42pm on Tuesday as flight KRF01R and landed at RAF Northolt in London at 6:54pm.
The awards celebrated the best and brightest in Australia’s defence industry whose hard work and dedication have strengthened the defence ecosystem.
