Notice Title

Lower V/UHF Antenna

Notice Description

Merlin Mk2 Lower V/UHF Antenna to introduce a direct replacement Lower V/UHF Antenna with the same fit and function to overcome the obsolesence issue

As Leonardo Helicopters are the Design Authority for the platform and would need to share Intellectual Property Rights with any other supplier, The Joint Modifications Contracting Arrangement was agreed for all modifications in the Leonardo platforms. Therefore the (JMCA) framework was used for this existing Joint Modification Service task.
