The Royal
Malaysian Navy will soon submit to the Government in Kuala Lumpur a project

Malaysian Five Year Plan which ends in 2010 or, failing that, under the 10th
Plan. Contenders for the contract, which will be worth some US$230 million, are
expected to include: AgustaWestland (with
the AW101); NH Industries (NH90); and
Sikorsky / Lockheed Martin (MH-60R
