"Exactly what the VH92 will be like is highly classified, but industry
opinion about the previous replacement program indicates that it will
have greater range than existing Marine One helicopters, and carry up to
14 passengers and thousands of pounds of cargo. It will also be
specially hardened against electromagnetic pulses, carry encrypted
communications and video conferencing gear, and be able to jam radar and
deploy countermeasures against anti-aircraft missiles, though the
combat and communications capabilities may be scaled back to control
costs."
KA-CHING:
"The initial US$1.24 billion contract is for six S-92 helicopters and two
trainer simulators for the US Marine Corps as part of a development and
conversion program that will see a fleet of 21 aircraft built for
presidential use by 2023."
(Remember, this is the 'scaled back' version.)
