Del'd 18 · Service : 2007 to present
Known as Hkp.14 in Swedish service, the NH90 was first ordered in 2001 with deliveries expected to be completed by 2013.
Initial operational capability was not achieved in time and the country needed to fast-track order UH-60M Black Hawk via FMS to fulfill the gap and comply with the Afghanistan deployment.
The HKp.14 was the first NH90 HCV variant (High Cabin Version).
Sweden ordered 18 helicopters, initially 13 (BSWA type #42-54) in TTH Army configuration and 5 (BSWN type #55-59, in grey livery) for a maritime role equipped with sonar. In 2014 the order was changed for 9 BSWA (Hkp14E) and 9 BSWN (Hkp14F).
As of December 2015, 10 were delivered including the first in full ASW configuration.
In November 2022, in a move following Australia and Norway, the Swedish Armed Forces Commander-in-Chief Micael Byden announced that Sweden cancelled the purchase of the ASW variant and will decommission the NH90 TTH earlier than expected after struggling with availability issues. The new plan includes the entire fleet to be retired by 2030 and the acquisition of more Black Hawk/Seahawk helicopters.
Airbus completed retrofits of the 18 helicopters, 9 transports and 9 anti-submarine warfare (ASW), with a ceremony held at Marignane, France on December 10, 2024.
