On July 11, 2025, the U.S. State Department approved a potential Foreign Military Sale to Norway for up to nine HH-60W “Jolly Green II” combat rescue helicopters, along with associated equipment and support.

 

The potential sale is worth an estimated cost of $2.6 billion.

 

The Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) formally notified Congress of the proposed sale, which includes nine helicopters, 22 General Electric T700-GE-401 turboshaft engines, GPS/INS navigation systems, radar warning receivers, missile warning systems, and an assortment of defensive and targeting equipment such as GAU-21 machine guns, AN/ALE-47 countermeasures dispensers, and IZLID 200P infrared lasers.

 

This sale marks Norway’s first international purchase of the HH-60W variant and will complement its current MH-60R Seahawk acquisitions.
