Procurement

In 2014, Malaysia signed a contract agreement worth MYR9 billion (USD2.2 billion) which awarded to Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) to built six Second Generation Patrol Vessel.[33] The ship will be built based on the Gowind 2500 corvette designed by French shipbuilder DCNS.[33] In 2015, it was reported that French defence minister has visited Malaysia to discuss on the selling of Mistral-class helicopter carrier.[34] However, Malaysian defence minister has denied any talks on Mistral and stated the talks were more focused to the Dassault Rafale fighters deal for the Royal Malaysian Air Force.[35] The Malaysian government is also considering to increase the total of helicopters for the Royal Malaysian Navy with either AW-159, Sikorsky MH-60R Seahawk or the Airbus Helicopters H225M.[36] In 2016, an Italian-aerospace defence company, the Finmeccanica has signed a teaming agreement with Malaysian-defence vehicle company, the Global Komited to jointly distribute AgustaWestland AW159 helicopters if it was selected by the Malaysian government.[37][38]
