U.S. Customs and Border Protection Air and Marine Operations has finalized a contract for 10 Airbus H125 light enforcement helicopters to advance fleet modernization. The order augments existing assets, replacing older EC120 and AS350 models while expanding operational capabilities for border security and domestic law enforcement missions. The H125, proven in extreme hot-and-high conditions, features dual hydraulics, FADEC engines, crash-resistant fuel systems, and advanced glass-panel cockpits. Equipped with infrared sensors, thermal imaging, night-vision gear, hoists, and loudspeakers, the platform supports two-person crews in high-risk scenarios. This acquisition reinforces the H125’s dominance as North America’s leading law enforcement helicopter, accounting for nearly half of all such deliveries over the past decade. Delivery timelines remain unspecified, with strategic value prioritized over schedule details.
