NHIndustries is letting its NH90 military helicopter take center stage this week at the Paris Air Show, featuring new mission capabilities and configurations tailored for European forces. Positioned at Static Area C3, the NH90 on display is the latest naval variant developed for Germany’s Sea Tiger program.
Officially designated the Multi Role Frigate Helicopter (MRFH), this variant of the NH90 NATO Frigate Helicopter is designed to meet the German Navy’s requirements for modern anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare. It features an electro-optical system and updated electronic support measures, signaling a significant leap in capability for one of Europe’s mainstream maritime helicopter fleets.
Visitors to the static display will also see a French Army NH90 tactical transport helicopter, scheduled to take part in daily flight demonstrations during the show.
In addition to the aircraft themselves, NHI is using the airshow to spotlight the broader mission systems that define NH90 effectiveness. Displayed alongside the MRFH are mockups and equipment from key partners, including the Marte ER anti-ship missile from MBDA, Thales’s laser-guided rocket systems, and the Eurotorp MU90 torpedo.
Now in service with nine NATO nations and more than 500 helicopters delivered, the NH90 continues to be a critical platform for both naval and land-based missions.
