Global Military Helicopter Modernisation, Upgrade and Retrofit Market 2013-2023

Global Military Helicopter Modernisation,Global Military Helicopter Modernisation, Upgrade and Retrofit Market 2013-2023 PR Newswire LONDON, December 19, 2013 Helicopters are crucial to military operations. Rotorcraft can transport personnel and cargo, and often within areas not readily accessible to vehicles or fixed-wing aircraft. These can also provide aerial fire support as well as reconnaissance, over land or sea. Defence spending cuts and the high cost of new helicopters have pushed countries to opt for modernisation, upgrade and retrofit programmes to extend the service life of existing helicopter fleets. In some cases, many of these rotorcraft simply remain viable to serve for many more years and it makes sense to opt to expand the capabilities of current rotorcraft. This report will look into upgrades completed on rotorcraft that span the range from minor upgrades, incremental modernisation up to major retrofit programmes that result in significantly more capable military helicopters. Visiongain has determined that the value of the global military helicopter modernisation, upgrade and retrofit market in 2013 will reach $4.82bn.
