Canadian defense minister: Helo upgrades worth the billions Citat:Upgrades to Canada’s helicopter fleets that would cost more than CAN $2 billion have been identified as key programs for funding, according to the country's defense minister.
Harjit Sajjan said Thursday at a conference in Ottawa that if the Griffon utility helicopter fleet does not receive an upgrade, it will have to be removed from service. In addition, the Royal Canadian Air Force’s Cormorant helicopters also require modernization, Sajjan told retired military personnel and defense executives at the event.
The Department of National Defence says the cost of a Griffon helicopter modernization program is estimated at more than CAN $1.5 billion (U.S. $1 billion). The modernization of the Cormorant fleet is estimated to cost between CAN $500 million and CAN $1.5 billion, depending on the extent of the upgrade.
