The budget committee of the German Bundestag (Parliament in Germany) has now accepted a budget of €2.7 billion for the purchase of 31 multi-role helicopters. Like the Sea Lion naval transport helicopter, the Sea Tigers are based on the naval variant of the NATO NH-90 helicopter. The Sea Lion is a naval version of the NH-90 designed to replace Germany’s Westland Sea Kings in the SAR (Search and Rescue) and Vertrep (vertical replenishment) roles, the Sea Lion entered in service with the German Navy in the second quarter of 2019.
