KAI receives contract to develop new amphibious helicopter
Fernando Valduga By Fernando Valduga 10/28/22 - 17:20 in Helicopters
The Administration of the South Korea Defense Acquisition Program (DAPA) announced on October 27 that it signed a contract with Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) of US$ 303.7 million for the "Amphibious Attack Helicopter System Development Project".
The Project to Develop the Amphibious Attack Helicopter System is intended to equip the naval force with a suitable helicopter for amphibious attack and aerial fire support during ground operations. The project is expected to be presented in 2026.
“As a result of the evaluation of the proposal in May, Korea Aerospace Industries Co., Ltd. was selected (to build the helicopter), and after a negotiation period of about four months, the contract was signed in October,” a DAPA statement said today.
The domestic R&D project of the Marine Corps amphibious attack helicopter is in full trajectory, the announcement said.
When this system development project is completed, 20 amphibious attack helicopters will be deployed in the South Korean Marine Corps from the end of the 2020s.
DAPA is planning to promote the project so that close cooperation with related organizations is achieved when the project starts seriously.
The Head of the DAPA Helicopter Division, Army Brigadier General Lee Jong-hwa, said: “With the development of an amphibious attack helicopter through this project, Marines will have the ability to perform three-dimensional high-speed amphibious operations.”
KAI currently manufactures the MUH-1, or Marine Utility Helicopter, better known as "Marineon". It is the Surion variant amphibious helicopter that KAI has developed to increase the capacity with which the South Korean Marine Corps performs multidimensional operations.
The 'Surion' helicopter is the basis for a number of versions, including marines, police, coast guard, utility and other special purpose applications.
The specifications of the proposed amphibious helicopter or any improvements to the MUH have not been disclosed.

Robert Setzer, a pilot who served on the crew of #MarineOne, the presidential helicopter, has been arrested and charged with multiple child sex crimes and is facing years in prison. Setzer was put behind bars in May with a charge sheet including sexual exploitation of a minor, sodomy, enticing a child for indecent purposes, statutory rape, and aggravated #childmolestation. #BillClinton’s former Marine One test pilot has also been forced to shut down his aircraft charter company, Strategic Moves, due to complications surrounding his incarceration. On Thursday, WBTV in #RowanCounty, NC broke the news of Setzer’s arrest and associated charges. This report was revealed due to the shuttering of Setzer’s company, an entire six months after the former Marine One pilot was accused of the sickening child sex crimes. According to Setzer’s biography, in which be boasts of his ties to the former president and his friends, he learned a lot while supporting Bill Clinton’s flights around the world. Setzer claimed that he learned “precise attention to detail,” which assisted him in being able to achieve “excellence” for the elites who used his services. One can only speculate about the details Slick Willy expected Setzer to handle while he was aboard the Marine One. As a Marine One Maintenance Officer and Functional Test Pilot, Steve was one of a select team authorized to certify the President’s helicopter as safe for flight following a maintenance action, according to his bio. Setzer is not the only pervert with whom Clinton has shared air miles. The former president was among the most high-profile companions of deceased pedophile #JeffreyEpstein aboard his notorious private jet, the #LolitaExpress. Clinton is accused of being one of the powerful elites who allegedly participated in Epstein’s illicit #childsextrafficking network. A contractor who worked at Epstein’s #NewMexicoranch claimed yesterday that the property featured a life-sized statue of a crucified Jesus, a creepy eight-person party shower, and photographs of Bill Clinton with topless #underagegirls. https://www.instagram.com/p/B5Lii6WDAye/?igshid=1p71gb6hmvpd8
