2002 NSHP Decided
The Nordic Standard helicopter Program (NSHP) was decided in the spring of 2002 with Norway, Sweden and Finland selecting variants of the NH-90 over variants of the S-92. Denmark was never truly part of the program going it alone for the EH-101. At the time, Sikorsky’s H-60 was never considered by any country due to its perceived maturity. (the design was not state of the art enough). Hindsight is always 20/20 and we will never know if Sikorsky could have delivered aircraft that met the specific requirements of the 4 countries. Issues with the Canadian S-92 program may have provided some insight in to how difficult a task it would have been.
