The French Minister of the Armed Forces, Florence Parly, has announced that the launch of the Joint Light Helicopter (Helicoptere Interarmees Leger; HIL) programme has been brought forward to 2021. The HIL programme, for which the Airbus Helicopters' H160 was selected in 2017, was initially scheduled for launch in 2022 by the current military budget law. Launching the programme earlier will enable delivery of the first H160Ms to the French Armed Forces to be advanced to 2026.
