LUH SK: Marine favours service solution

The Bundeswehr has been planning to procure a Light Utility Helicopter (LUH) for several branches of the armed forces for several years now, which will be used in particular to train pilots between the end of their basic helicopter training and deployment on their operational helicopter such as the NH90 or the Tiger.

According to the original ideas, the armed forces were to procure the same helicopter type as part of this "Light Multi-Purpose Helicopter Armed Forces" or "LUH SK" project. Apparently, however, there are now considerable doubts in the navy as to whether this is a target-orientated approach.
