The Lockheed Martin/Sikorsky MH-60R and NH Industries NH90 remain as potential replacements for the Royal Australian Navy's Sikorsky S-70B-2 Seahawks and cancelled Kaman Aerospace SH-2G(A) Super Seasprites, the nation's Department of Defence says.

The DoD's confirmation counters recent local media reports that suggested Australian Defence Force (ADF) chiefs have already recommended the MH-60R as the best candidate for the Project Air 9000 Phase 8 deal.
