Naval Helicopter Up Close - Operational Technology at a Glance

Here you'll encounter technology that is usually only used over the sea. At BRAZZELTAG, you'll meet two naval helicopters representing different eras:

The Sea Lynx Mk 88A was a central component of the shipboard helicopter fleet for decades. Whether anti-submarine warfare, surveillance, or search and rescue, equipped with radar, sonar, and torpedoes, it could operate far beyond the range of its ships. Now it is being decommissioned, and you have the rare opportunity to experience it up close one last time.

Next to it stands the current generation, the NH90 Sea Lion. Modern sensors, more space, and versatile operational capabilities demonstrate how naval aviation works today, from search and rescue missions to transport and reconnaissance operations.

On-site, crews provide insights into the technology, systems, and their daily lives on duty, sharing experiences that are not usually available.
