EADS North America today announced an order from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection to American Eurocopter for EC120 helicopters.
This acquisition is the first order for 10 Light Sign Cutter EC120s in a Department of Homeland Security contract that could involve as many as 55 helicopters, with a potential total value of up to $75 million.
"We have been supporting U.S. homeland security and defense missions for more than 18 years, and this order further reinforces EADS North America's position as a helicopter supplier of choice for the protection of the United States," said Ralph D. Crosby, Jr., Chairman and CEO of EADS North America. "This success positively reflects our unique capability to support vital national security missions, including our offer of the UH-145 helicopter for the Army's Light Utility Helicopter requirement."
The Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection EC120s will be produced at the new Columbus, Mississippi facility of American Eurocopter, an EADS North America business unit. Columbus already supports key U.S. government helicopter programs -- including the upgrading of HH-65 Dolphins for the Coast Guard, and it recently was designated as the production site for EADS North America's UH-145 Light Utility Helicopter.
