AS565 MBe Panther - Anti Submarine Multi Role Helicopter

Описание: The AS565 MBe is an all-weather, multi-role helicopter, designed to operated from ship decks, offshore locations and land-based sites. AS565 Panther is used for a wide range of military roles, including combat assault, fire support, anti-submarine warfare, anti-surface warfare, search and rescue, and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC).
The AS565 MBe is powered by two Turboméca Arriel 2C turboshaft engines. It features modern cockpit avionics that include an automatic flight control system (AFCS) and flight management system.
Enhancing the AS565 MBe’s mission capabilities are its advanced avionics and systems, including multifunction and tactical displays for the crew, while the FADEC full authority digital engine control system and vehicle and engine management display (VEMD) improve safety and reduce pilot workload.
Modular mechanical assembly design – along with fiberglass Starflex rotor heads, composite tail rotor blades and airframe – contribute to significant reductions in maintenance time and costs.

Additionally, the AS565 MBe Panther incorporates a new-generation, 100-percent composite Fenestron® shrouded tail rotor, which provides high manoeuvrability, low external sound levels, and optimal safety for passengers, ground and air crews.
The AS565 MBe is highly effective in anti-surface unit warfare missions (ASuW), including over-the-horizon targeting (OTHT) for ships with long-range anti-ship missiles.

By acting as the ship’s principal weapon system, it can search, classify, shadow and strike with precision well beyond the horizon. At Best Endurance Speed (VBE) the aircraft has a loiter time in excess of four hours.
In November 2014, PT Dirgantara Indonesia signed a strategic industrial agreement with Airbus Helicopters to acquire 11 AS565 MBe Panther multi-role helicopters for use by the Indonesian Navy in naval anti-submarine warfare missions.
PT Dirgantara Indonesia is responsible for integrating the anti-submarine warfare suite into the 11 AS565 MBe helicopters. The company received the first three helicopters from Airbus Helicopters in November 2016, while the remaining helicopters are expected to be delivered by 2018.
