Based on proven BLACK HAWK technology, the Sikorsky H-92 SUPERHAWK is built for the rigors of military missions. With its large cabin, survivable design and enhanced range, the SUPERHAWK does it all. It can perform austere to all-weather operations in arctic cold, ice, desert heat, at temperatures anywhere from -40ºC to +55ºC, day and night. The SUPERHAWK is ready to serve all branches of the military in a broad range of missions.

The Canadian Government decided on the purchase of 28 of the Superhawk Helicopters to replace the CH-124 Sea King's on board HMC Ships. The Cyclone as the aircraft is to be called will assume all the roles of the Sea King, including anti-submarine warfare, beyond visual identification, search and rescue, as well as ship to shore delivery. The Cyclone was the result of a prolonged procurment process that lasted over 20 years. The Cyclone beat out the only other competitor in another version of the CH-149 Cormorant. The Canadian Forces will be the first military customer for the aircraft and the first to use it as a shipborne aircraft.
