The first phase of the helicopter project, to be announced on Monday, July 4, will see the replacement of "one mission" of the Royal Brunei Air Force's (RBAirF) 10 Bell helicopters, the permanent secretary of defence (administration and finance) told The Brunei Times.

It is a twin-engined aircraft and can carry up to 29 seated troops along with 2 crew, depending on customer configuration. The helicopter is marketed for troop transport, casualty evacuation, and combat search and rescue duties.

The EC645 is a multi-role helicopter, tailor-made for tomorrow’s Armed Forces. He is the brand new military version of the successful EC145, the latest medium-sized (3.5 ton), twin-engine Eurocopter helicopter.

The EC645 is a multi-role helicopter, tailor-made for tomorrow’s Armed Forces. He is the brand new military version of the successful EC145, the latest medium-sized (3.5 ton), twin-engine Eurocopter helicopter.

It is the answer to an increasing demand for a cost effective multi-role helicopter common to both military and paramilitary forces. The modern and versatile EC645, with its large range of optional equipment, provides outstanding flexibility for all missions (from light utility to armed).
