In one article published in the daily Ouest-France, we learn that the French Navy will receive the first used Dauphin helicopters during the year 2020 which will, for the occasion, be rented to a group between the companies DCI and Heli-Union. This contract, lasting 10 years, was notified on December 3, 2019, and concerns 12 Dauphin helicopters acquired second-hand from companies which used them for the benefit of oil companies in the off-shore sector in Africa. They will be previously revised, modernized and adapted to the specific needs of the French Navy by HeliDax, and will replace the Alouette III and Lynx remaining in service in Naval Aeronautics on the Surveillance Frigates serving overseas, the PHA helicopter carriers, the Charles de Gaulle aircraft carrier and supply ships. They will also arm the Immediate Assault Plan for the benefit of state forces, in the event of a terrorist attack.
