US Navy is awarding Sikorsky a $435 million contract modification to build four more CH-53K prototype helicopters for the operational evaluation purposes.

The CH-53K to haul 12,247kg (27,000lb) over a distance of 110nm (204km/h)-meaning the new K-model will have three times the external payload capacity as the old E-model helicopter.
