Australian auditors criticize NH90 procurement decision

Australian National Audit Office (ANAO) has questioned the decision by the John Howard government to buy the NH90 despite the fact that most service chiefs opted for the Sikorksy S-70M.

The helicopter is not expected to achieve Final operational capability (FOC) until 2019, twelve years after the first aircraft was delivered.
