Isn't the AW149, NH90, S-76 and SH-60R in a more comparible programme to the Puma replacement rather than the smaller Lynx?
With the EC635 geared more towards the Gazelle replacement? Which i believe will need to be addressed soon as the OSD for the Gazelle is slated at 2012.
Looking through that list, the only platforms i can see relevant to the replacement of the Lynx if compared to the current Lynx is the Future Lynx and A109 Power in terms of size and so on.
According to the MoD Integrated Projects Team the OSD for the Puma and Gazelle are as follows:
"The Puma HCMk1 operated by the Royal Air Force and used for transporting personnel and equipment around the battlefield. It can carry up to 16 equipped soldiers or lift a load of 2 tonnes, and has particularly good performance in hot temperatures and at high altitudes. The fleet is expected to continue in Service until 2010 when it will start to be replaced by the updated Puma HC2. The Puma HC2 will continue in Service until 2022.
The smaller Gazelle AHMk1 is operated by the Army in the reconnaissance and liaison roles. While the formal Out of Service Date for Gazelle remains 2018, the MOD is examining options to replace Gazelle, and it is unlikely to remain in service much beyond 2012"
