Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland is teaming with Czech firm LOM Praha s.p. in its bid for a Czech military helicopter contact.

Under the memorandum of understanding signed Monday, LOM Praha would provide maintenance, training and servicing for AgustaWestlands AW139 aircraft, as well as the manufacturing of the helicopter kits.

"The partnership would be firmly established in the event Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland's solution for the Czech Ministry of Defense's multipurpose helicopter requirement is selected," AgustaWestland said.

"A state-owned company with experience in maintenance, training, repair, overhaul and modernization of aircraft and helicopters, as well as training solutions for NATO and an established service supplier to the Czech Ministry of Defense, LOM Praha would strongly benefit from industrial cooperation with Finmeccanica-AgustaWestland."

The AW139M is a twin-engine aircraft with a maximum speed of 193 mph, a range of about 777 miles and an endurance of nearly six hours. Among its operators are the military forces of Italy, Qatar, Ireland, Cyprus, Malta and Thailand. It can carry a variety of weapon systems.
