Among these projects is the Next Generation Medium Helicopter (NGMH), a collaborative effort aimed at establishing a dedicated forum to address operational requirements related to both upgrading existing fleets and developing the European Next Generation Rotorcraft. The initiative seeks to harmonise the needs and timelines of EU member countries regarding future rotorcraft capabilities.
