The Royal Netherlands Navy is set to enhance its maritime operational capabilities with the acquisition of three additional NH90 NFH (NATO Frigate Helicopter) helicopters. This strategic move reflects the navy’s commitment to modernizing its fleet and improving versatility in anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and maritime surveillance missions. The expanded fleet will bolster the Netherlands’ ability to operate effectively in the increasingly complex and technology-driven naval environment.

Key benefits of the new NH90 NFH helicopters include:

  • Advanced sensors and combat systems for superior submarine detection
  • Increased operational range and endurance in maritime patrols
  • Enhanced interoperability with NATO allies
  • Improved mission adaptability through modular payload configurations
