Strategy Orientation - Military Helicopters & Rotorcrafts - 2014 - World's 6 Leading Military Helicopter & Rotorcraft Manufacturers - Key Strategies, Plans, Strategic Focus, Trends & Insights, Strategic Outlook - Airbus Helicopters, AgustaWestland, Bell, Sikorsky, Boeing, Russian Helicopters
1. Industry Overview & Backdrop:
Global Military Helicopter & Rotorcraft Segment Driven by Expanding Role in Force Structure, Extension of Capabilities Driven by Development of Cutting-Edge Platforms as well as Technologies & Global Replacement Demand :-
The global military helicopter & rotorcraft segment globally is being driven by rapidly expanding role of helicopters in the overall force structure of armed forces globally with the showcasing of their capabilities for conducting a broad range of anti-terrorism directed military operations & countering a wide range of asymmetric threats during the allied war on terror across Iraq & Afghanistan war theatres during the first decade of this century.
Additionally, the evolving role of helicopters as significant force multipliers with their rapidly increasing capabilities, especially, with the rise of rotorcrafts, & their increasing indispensability for conducting a wide range of military operations & missions and the rapidly evolving nature of threat perception from symmetric to asymmetric has made their presence formidable with the battlefield boundaries becoming increasingly nebulous. The development of experimental compound helicopter platforms, especially, the self-funded X2 program by Sikorsky & X3 by Eurocopter have already heralded the beginning of a new technological era as well as leap for military helicopters, in terms, of operational spectrum & capabilities.
Common Platform Architecture Strategy for Civil & Military Helicopter Segments by OEMs:
OEMs are also increasingly pursuing a common platform architecture strategy for civil & military helicopter segments intending to jettison development costs involved in scratch up programs and creating an affordable, customizable military helicopter solution package amid ongoing pressure on defense budgetary spending. The Super Puma helicopter family by Airbus Helicopters (formerly Eurocopter) & the development of military versions of the AW139, AW169 & AW189 programs by AgustaWestland are prominent examples of the same.
Further, the imminent, significant replacement demand for ageing military helicopters emanating from traditional as well as emerging markets and strong R&D activity driven technological developments & innovations are likely to be a strong demand driver over medium term for military helicopters & rotorcrafts despite the ongoing, significant pressure on defense budgets across most traditional markets. The upcoming Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) program & the JMR (Joint Multi-Role) Technology Demonstration Phase (TD) for the FVL (Future Vertical Lift) program of the U.S. Army are going to be crucial for the industry’s future in North America despite facing threats of cancellations or substitution from existing, in-service programs on economic grounds over short term.
