The Canadian government and Sikorsky has signed a revamped contract for 28 CH-148 Cyclone helicopters for the Royal Canadian Air Force (RCAF).
The amendment will allow Canada to begin retirement of the Sea Kings in 2015 and achieve an operational capability for the CH-148 in 2018.
Canada will now spend $5.7 billion to support the helicopter till 2038, 10 years longer than planned.
