The helicopters are in production at Eurocopter's engineering and production facilities at Marignane in France, and they are also built for the Brazilian armed forces under a licensed production agreement by Helibras in Brazil.
The naval variant is in service with the navies of Brazil, Columbia and Argentina. In October 2001, six AS 555SN helicopters were ordered by the Royal Malaysian Navy, which were delivered between 2003 and 2004. They are used for Over-The-Horizon Targeting (OTHT) and training.
