This is mainly a result of postponing the payment schedules of some earlier materiel projects. From this amount the biggest percentage, will be used to cover the payroll of the defence forces’ personnel, accounting for 783.5 million Euros (approximately 27.1% of the country’s defence budget), slightly decreased compared to 2015, when it reached 793.4 accounting for 29.8% of total defence budget.

Defence Spending as (%) of GDP Source: http://www.defmin.fi One of the most important procurement programs Finland is going to carry out in the following years is “Squadron 2020”. Under this program the country will replace six surface vessels (including Rauma-class fast attack missile crafts and Hämeenlinna-class minelayers) that will become outdated by mid-2020s. Additionally, Finland is planning to replace the Air Force F/A-18 aircraft, which will be decommissioned as of 2025, with a multi-role fighter. The final decision for the aircraft that will replace F/A-18 will be taken in the early 2020s. Kyriazis Vasileios, Epicos Newsletter Head Editor © Epicos Informational Services Page 3 Epicos 2016 Special Focus: Finland Finnish Defence Industry: Main Competences & Total Turnover Finnish aerospace, defence and security industry is small but agile and highly competent. The industry’s know-how is mainly focused on the domains of logistics, armored wheeled vehicles and turreted mortar systems. It is also extended to dual-use products, various sensor solutions and C4I. More on that Finnish companies have great competences with cyber and information systems. Throughout the years the Finnish aerospace, defence and security industry has created an outstanding competitiveness in Europe and even worldwide in the production of the above-mentioned weapon systems. The Finnish defence, aerospace and security industry is represented by the Association of Finnish Defence and Aerospace Industries (AFDA). AFDA has approximately 100 member companies. The total turnover of AFDA members was approximately 1.2 billion Euros in 2014. Exports represented approximately 48% of total turnover. Moreover AFDA’s member companies are responsible for approximately 5500 jobs. Finally, it is worth mentioning that Finish defence, aerospace and security companies invest significantly in R&D (15% of turnover for 2014). Exports and Domestic Sales Source: http://pia.teknologiateollisuus.fi With a few exceptions, Finnish defence, aerospace and security companies are privately owned SMEs.

Meanwhile, the company booked 383 orders – adjusted to 333 due to contract amendments for governmental NH90 and Tiger helicopters – with a strong performance of the new-generation medium H175. Demand remained steady for the H135 and H145 family of light twin helicopters, with bookings levels exceeding the company’s targets for 2015. “We are now harvesting the fruit of our strategic transformation plan that puts us in the best position to operate successfully despite a challenging market environment”, said Guillaume Faury, President and CEO of Airbus Helicopters. “Our focus on customer satisfaction, quality and safety, as well as competitiveness has produced tangible results on our journey to go from the biggest to the best and to become the benchmark of the helicopter industry”, he added. Highlights of last year include a strong commercial performance of the 7-ton H175 with 36 units booked, exceeding the company’s objectives for 2015. The gross order book of the H175 is now up to 101 units after being endorsed last year by several key oil & gas operators despite the low price of the barrel impacting them. Operated by NHV since December 2014, the H175 has achieved 2000 flight hours with a high level of availability thanks to the work done to improve maturity at entry into service. A first order for the public services variant was also placed in 2015 by Hong Kong operator GFS. “The focus on our customers is resonating well with them as external surveys are now placing Airbus Helicopters in second position for customer satisfaction” explained Guillaume Faury. “In 2016 we will maintain our efforts to implement improvements for the benefit of our customers, and providing them with high-performing and reliable aircraft for their demanding missions,” Faury explained. “In this challenging environment, we are also preparing the future – the H Generation – embodied by the H160 and the X6,” he added. In 2015, Airbus Helicopters successfully launched the flight-test phase of the new H160 medium helicopter, the first member of the “H Generation”.
