SCMR has not been binned.

BLUH may change to become BRH (Battlefield Recce Helicopter) but the requirement has not been binned.

Future Lynx is NOT the same airframe as existing Lynx (any Mk, inc SL 300). Future Lynx carries almost a tonne more payload than any current Lynx, has new primary structure, new engines, new tail rotor, new avionics, new sensors, new comms, new nav kit, new glass cockpit etc etc. It does use the existing BERP III MRB and existing (but uprated) gearbox though..........

Either BRH or SCMR MAY be met by Future Lynx (or may not).

PS: I don't work for a certain West Country rotorcraft manufacturer either......................
