Kaman defends Super Seasprite
Article Abstract:
The US-based helicopter manufacturer Kaman in 2006 has denied the comments from the Australian government regarding the ongoing software and technical problems and confirms that the SH-2G (A) Super Seasprite is on verge of completion and will be presented for acceptance by the end of 2006 to the Royal Australian Navy (RAN). The Australian Defence Minister Brendan Nelson had alleged that the continuous difficulties had made it risky to the extent that the flight operation had to be barred.
