Interesting stuff.
It has been known for some time that the NH90 does not meet the requiriements set by "Helikopterfaglig forum" commitee so the decision was not a total suprise but its good to know that the government has come to a conclusion.
The EC225 is only mentioned as one of the possible candidates and in my opinion will barely meet the requirments set by the "HF" commitee.
It will be interesting to see what happens and the outcome of the bidding process by the 3 or 4 large helicopter manufacturers and how they will propose to meet the needs for Norwegian SAR.
It is expecially interesting as it has been proposed that Iceland will be a partner in a joint bidding process for a new SAR helicopter as our needs are similar.
