Helicopters
|
The RAH-66 Comanche armed reconnaissance helicopter is the Army's dream machine. It is easy to pilot with features like the side arm sticks, fly-by-wire control system with unique autopilot features, such as hover positioning hold. It is equipped with forward looking infrared scanner, which makes digital images and onboard computers process them and alert the crew of targets and relay them to the war fighting commanders in the area. |

The AH-64 Apache attack helicopter can be equipped with 1 M230A1 30 mm chain gun, 4 under wing hard points for hellfire and hydra 70 rockets. It also has a range of 428 miles before it needs refueling. In the Gulf War they performed many strike missions, but the sand would get sucked into the engine and need 4 hours of maintenance for every 1 hour of flight time. |

The AH-1 Huey Cobra attack helicopter can be equipped with a chin turret with M1973 barrel 20 mm cannon or tat turret with a M28 7.62 mm mini gun and M129 40 mm grenade launcher. It also has four under wing hard points for Hydra 70 rockets, gun pods, M65 TOW missiles, etc. With a range of 315 miles and an 8% reserve the Cobra escorts transport helicopters and performs strike missions. With it's slim fuselage, it is a hard target for enemy ground fire to hit. |
|
The UH-60 Black Hawk is a multi-role transport helicopter and can be equipped with 2 M60 machine guns and a variety of external stores if wings are mounted. It can carry 11-14 troops or 8,000lbs of cargo and has a range of 373 miles. If not escorted by attack helicopters, it must rely on it's two m60 machine guns and external stores for defense. |
|
The UH-1 Huey utility transport helicopter can carry 7 fully equipped soldiers or 3,000 pounds of cargo and has a range of 286 miles. It may be equipped with 1 or 2 M60 machine guns to protect the helicopter and the troops while being transported. They are large and in my opinion, out dated for combat. In the Vietnam War many were used in evacuation and insertion missions, but many were taken town by enemy ground fire themselves and had to be evacuated. Other, more armed helicopters should be used in the future. |

The H-3H Sea King sub hunter and rescue helicopter has a range of 542 nautical miles with a crew of 4. It has two 2 MK-46 torpedoes for it's sub hunting role and is also used to perform rescues at sea. This helicopter may travel long distances to scout for submarines and take them out themselves or call in the location for supporting fire. When performing rescue missions a scuba team will accompany the helicopter and retrieve the personnel and then be pulled back into the helicopter by a motorized crane. |

The SH-60 Sea Hawk attack and rescue helicopter has a range of 280 nautical miles with a crew of 3 or 4. It has two 7.62 machine guns mounted in the windows and can be equipped with three MK46 or MK50 torpedoes or additional .50 caliber guns mounted in the doors. It is used for anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, drug interdiction, anti ship warfare, cargo lift, and special operations. The Navy's SH-60B Sea Hawk is an airborne platform based aboard cruisers, destroyers, and frigates and deploys sonobouys and torpedoes in an anti-submarine role and also extend the range of the ship's radar capabilities. |
