Airbus H145M SN.20259 D-HCBS walk around in detail

Описание: The power, range, endurance, and useful payload of the H145M provide a variety of deployment capabilities, especially when the helicopter operates in sandy and dusty environments at 6,000 feet and in 95°F/35°C. A key feature of this H145M is the variety of the available armament packages, which can be quickly installed and uninstalled, depending on the requirements of the mission. Within minutes, the helicopter can be reconfigured from a means of transporting troops to a means of search and rescue missions with winch and rescue stretchers or a light attack helicopter with various weapons options.

During the ILA 2022, the Government of Cyprus has signed a contract with Airbus Helicopters for the purchase of six H145Ms with an option for another six aircraft. The five-bladed helicopters will be operated by the Cypriot National Guard.

This H145M is a response to the Commonwealth of Australia’s request for proposal for a four-tonne class, rapidly deployable, multi-role helicopter for the Australian Special Forces, Team Nightjar will be offering a fleet of the highly capable Airbus H145M and in-country support. Airbus Helicopters has joined hands with over 20 Australian partners to form Team Nightjar, as the consortium launches its solution to Project LAND 2097 Phase 4. With a clear commitment to invest in Australian-led innovation, the teaming proposal will generate over AUD250 million of economic benefits and more than 170 Australian jobs. AIRBUS

Cockpit – Avionics
The H145M is equipped with a state-of-the-art digital glass cockpit (Airbus Helionix® Advanced Aircraft Suite), which is compatible with night-vision equipment, and features a 4-axis digital autopilot that drastically reduces the workload of the pilot.

FLIR
This helicopter showcased at ILA 2022 was also equipped with a Safran electro-optical system (EOS) Euroflir™ 410 which operates in four spectral wave bands (TV / NIR / SWIR and MWIR) providing ISR and targeting capabilities over long distances under any weather conditions, day and night. The Safran EOS comes with a built-in rangefinder and laser pointer. Airbus can offer various EOS options, however, depending on customer requirements. It was also on display with the FZ231 (Thales) unguided rocket launcher, capable of combining 9 unguided and 3 laser-guided FZ275 LGR rockets with 70mm caliber. Also, a machine gun mount on multipurpose pylons at the right sliding door were installed.

Self-defense equipment
The chaffs and flares launchers together with the incoming missile early warning system offer an extra level of protection in high-risk environments.

Armed resonances for engaging targets from helmets (HMSD). Possibility to select a pod with a 0.50″ machine gun or a 20 mm cannon or a combination of a 20 mm cannon and a rocket launcher (7 or 12 rockets)

Close Air Support with the use of HMSD and electro-optical sensors (EOS). Guided or unguided rockets and machine guns are available. The Nexter NC 621 20 mm cannon pod with 180 or 250 rounds of ammunition and a firing rate of 750 rounds per minute (khaki pod integrated into the left helicopter multipurpose pillar) or HMP 400 0,50 machine gun pod made by FN featuring a firing rate of 950 to 1100 rounds per minute and a supply of 400 rounds (black pod in photo)

Attack configuration by using guided weapons such as SPIKE ER-2 anti-tank missiles (Max 8) with a range of 15km + and FZ275 LGR rockets. Use of HMSD and guided-fire via EOS. The range of the FZ275 LGR (Laser Guided Rockets) with Lock on Before Launch (LOBL) capability ranges from 1500 to 7000 meters with a circular error (CEP) of less than 1 meter (at a distance of 6 kilometers). In addition, the rocket has the ability to Lock After Launch (LOAL) or even after designation from a remote source, such as a soldier on the ground or another flying platform.

Worth knowing is also that the Airbus H145M has unrivalled battlefield sustainability, with an availability rate greater than 95%.
