In October 2014 the governments of Peru and Canada (via Canadian Commercial Corporation and General Dynamics Air and Space) signed agreement to acquire and modernize five New Zealand Royal Navy Seasprites multipurpose helicopters for the Peruvian Navy.
First SH-2G Super Seasprite, type P1 without any upgrade, arrived to Peru on January 2016 but was damaged at harbour during unloading from the cargo ship at El Callao. After long dispute about repairing costs was repaired by Kaman in Peru and delivered for training mission on May 2018.
The remaining four, P2, are being upgraded by Kaman at Bloomfield, CT.
On March 2019, first two upgraded P2 helicopters were tested by Peruvian navy personnel at Bloomfield.
