Citat:H145M also spearheading Airbus Helicopters push into manned-unmanned teaming - controlling an UAV from a helicopter .
AirbusHeli developing in-flight rapid obscuration system to protect H145M in the hover. Not yet been done for helicopters, but company says has proven it conceptually and results "are very good".
Smoke dispensers on side and underneath of helo to generate "a fence" of smoke that protects visual and IR signature. Downwash does not blow smoke away too quickly, tests have shown.
Airbus Helicopters currently in discussions with an unspecified H145M customer, and “the system will be ready when the customer signs the contract”. IMO, German special forces would most likely be the best fit given the fast-roping aspect of their counter-terrorism mission.
