Eurocopter and the Philippines navy are negotiating a $1 million contract to return one of the service's seven grounded Eurocopter BO105 helicopters to service before year-end. The navy, which now flies one BO105 for border patrol and anti-piracy missions, plans to refurbish its entire fleet over the next five years, and to later equip the aircraft with a basic weather radar and new radios.
