Belgian Defence is undergoing profound changes and is facing an extraordinary challenge in the field of human resources. In this context, it was decided to reduce the flight plan for the NH-90 TTH (Troop Transport Helicopter) version and to withdraw the B-Hunter UAV from use four months earlier than planned.

The measures related to the TTH version of the NH-90 are due to its limited operational capability due to imperfect industrial support (which is likely to decrease in the coming years) due to very expensive but necessary upgrades and shortages in staff. Belgian Defence has chosen to focus primarily on the NFH version (Nato Frigate Helicopter), which, in its maritime role, must increase the efficiency of the frigates and at the same time ensure the SAR (Search and Rescue) mission. To provide support for the Army and the Medical Component in the future, several proposals are currently being studied.
