    The joint procurement, made to meet the need for a new platform to replace the venerable SA-315B Lama for high mountain missions, was won by Bell Textron Canada, with its Bell 407 GXi. The proposals of Airbus Helicopters with the H145 and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) with its LUH Mk-1 were also evaluated.

    The signing of the purchase contract between the Chief of the Joint Chiefs of Staff of the Argentine Armed Forces and Bell Canada took place on December 21, 2022 at the «Libertador General San Martín» building, headquarters of the Ministry of Defense, in the city of Buenos Aires.

    The Lama replacement process dates back to 2011, but it was repeatedly frustrated due to the recurrent lack of resources allocated to the Defense. Only with the application of the FONDEF (National Defense Fund) Law was it possible to carry out the project and sign the contract.

    In addition to the aircraft, the contract includes training and instruction for crew members and technical personnel, manuals, tooling, ground support equipment, etc.
