  • Md Helicopters Md Explorer Twin-Engined Light Helicopter, Usa
    MD HELICOPTERS MD EXPLORER TWIN-ENGINED LIGHT HELICOPTER, USA The MD Explorer twin-engined light helicopter entered service in 1994 and is in service with private and corporate customers, law enforcement agencies and emergency services around the world. It is manufactured by MD Helicopters Inc of Mesa, Arizona, a subsidiary of the Netherlands-based MD Helicopters of the RDM Group. The company acquired the business rights of the former McDonnell Douglas Helicopters from Boeing in February 1999, excluding that of the AH-64 Apache helicopter which remains within Boeing's business interest. As well as the Explorer, MD Helicopters' products include the MD 500, 520N, 530F and the 600N. In August 2005, Patriarch Partners of New York bought a controlling interest in MD Helicopters from RDM. Over 100 MD Explorers have been delivered. The Explorer is in service with law enforcement agencies, including the US Coast Guard, US Drug Enforcement Agency, Rijkswacht and the Gendarmerie in Belgium, German State Police, Dutch National Police, the Mexican Navy and UK Police Aviation Services. The helicopter can be fitted with a selection of federal or military systems, e.g. forward looking infrared (FLIR) observation system. HELLFIRE GUIDED MISSILE AND GUN-MOUNTED DESIGN The MD Combat Explorer can be armed with 70mm rocket pod, GAU-19/A 0.50 calibre Gatling gun, M-134 7.62mm miniguns, Hellfire laser-guided missiles and Rafael N-TD dual-operation missiles. For the US Coast Guard the helicopter carries the designation MH-90 Enforcer and is armed with an M240 7.62mm gun pintle mounted at the side door.

  • Rotorcraft (2011)
    Rotorcraft Overview The rotorcraft industry produces aircraft, powered by either turboshaft or reciprocating engines, capable of performing vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) operations. The rotorcraft sector includes helicopters, gyrocopters, and tiltrotor aircraft. Helicopters, which employ a horizontal rotor for both lift and propulsion, are the mainstay of the industry. Gyrocopters are produced in much smaller quantities, primarily for use in recreational flying. Tiltrotor aircraft, such as the V-22 Osprey1, can take off vertically and then fly horizontally as a fixed-wing aircraft. Rotorcraft are manufactured in most industrialized countries, based on indigenous design or in collaboration with, or under license from, other manufacturers. Manufacturers in the United States of civilian helicopters include American Eurocopter, Bell, Enstrom, Kaman, MD Helicopters, Robinson, Schweizer (now a subsidiary of Sikorsky), and Sikorsky. Bell moved its civilian helicopter production to Canada, with the last U.S. product completed in 1993.2 American Eurocopter—a subsidiary of the European manufacturer and subsidiary of EADS NV—has manufacturing and assembly facilities in Grand Prairie, Texas and Columbus, Missouri. European producers include AgustaWestland, Eurocopter, NHIndustries, and PZL Swidnik. Russian manufacturers including Mil Moscow, Kamov and Kazan helicopters, as well as a number of other rotorcraft related companies, have been consolidated under the Russian government majority-owned OAO OPK Oboronprom.3 (See this report’s Russia

  • Military Helicopter Modernization: Background and Issues for Congress
    Order Code RL32447 CRS Report for Congress Received through the CRS Web Military Helicopter Modernization: Background and Issues for Congress June 24, 2004 Christian F. M. Liles Research Associate Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division Christopher Bolkcom Specialist in National Defense Foreign Affairs, Defense and Trade Division Congressional Research Service ˜ The Library of Congress Military Helicopter Modernization: Background and Issues for Congress Summary Recent military operations, particularly those in Afghanistan and Iraq, have brought to the fore a number of outstanding questions concerning helicopters in the U.S. armed forces, including deployability, safety, survivability, affordability, and operational effectiveness. These concerns are especially relevant, and made more complicated, in an age of “military transformation,” the “global war on terrorism,” and increasing pressure to rein in funding for the military, all of which provide contradictory pressures with regard to DOD’s large, and often complicated, military helicopter modernization efforts. Despite these questions, the military use of helicopters is likely to hold even, if not grow. This report includes a discussion of the evolving role of helicopters in military transformation. The Department of Defense (DOD) fields 10 different types of helicopters, which are largely of 1960s and 1970s design. This inventory numbers approximately 5,500 rotary-wing aircraft, not including an additional 144 belonging to the Coast Guard, and ranges from simple “utility” platforms such as the ubiquitous UH-1 “Huey” to highly-advanced, “multi-mission” platforms such as the Air Force’s MH- 53J “Pave Low” special operations helicopter and the still-developmental MV-22B “Osprey” tilt-rotor aircraft. Three general approaches can be taken to modernize DOD’s helicopter forces: upgrading current platforms, rebuilding current helicopter models (often called recapitalization), or procuring new models.

  • Stagnating Civil Market Begins to Show Signs of a Return to Life
    ROTORCRAFT & unmanned systems New rotorcraft 2018 Stagnating civil market begins to show signs of a return to life by Mark Huber Oil topped $60 per barrel at the end of last year, a harbinger of optimism for new rotor- craft sales. Growing geopolitical uncertainty combined with OPEC crude oil produc- tion cuts should send the price of oil and gas climbing further this year, benefiting the leading offshore operators as that sector consolidates and rebounds. However, expect to see more offshore activity in Austral-Asia and a growing shift from heavies to super- mediums to service that market, a development that bodes well for Airbus, Bell, and Leonardo—companies with available or soon-to-be available new models in that sector. Those models also will benefit from the global trend to privatize helicopter search-and- rescue operations. What oil couldn’t do for market optimism, Mother Nature did, lashing the Continental United States and the Caribbean with an unprecedented array of hurricanes, floods, and fires, reminding everyone with access to a video screen that, in times of disaster, there is no substitute for a helicopter commanded by a competent crew. Concurrent with these unfor- tunate events, new helicopter orders and deliveries, while not surging, showed marked improvement.

UAV’s as they are known popularly have a large following in the military and there are clear signs that some sections of the law enforcement industry are paying attention to their development. It is not certain whether the current level of interest relates to a perception that they are easy and cheap to acquire and operate and likely to enter service with non-military operators soon or just as an object of curiosity. Already there have been clear instances of amateur aviators feeling the sharp rebuttal of an aviation legislator because they failed to understand the product its dangers and limitations. They also apparently failed to appreciate the powers of the aviation legislators. On top of that there have been a number of failures of the technology to actually get the UAV’s to stay up in the air just as the ground based operators desired.

    Police Aviation News August 2021 1 ©Police Aviation Research Issue 304 August 2021 Police Aviation News August 2021 2 EDITORIAL In the past I have pointed out that those you do not take heed of their past put themselves in danger of making the same mistakes again. It is daunting to see how often that advice is being ignored. In the past month the Editor has contacted several important organisations affected by the situation in Wakefield and have even directly complained to NPAS in an effort to overcome the ongoing air of secrecy surrounding their past and present operations. Time will tell whether this will have any positive outcome. Meanwhile the UK Home Office, and by default the Government of the day, seem to have a plan that pro- motes offshore police aviation rather than its own. The troubles at NPAS are way beyond money but, far from ensuring that resources are available for UK police aviation money continues to be exported to France to bolster their apparently inadequate reaction to stemming the ongoing wave of migrants boating their way to England. In addition to significant sums sent to France last November [which clearly failed to work] a sum of £55M has been set aside to boost French border activity, including air patrols, into the future. That is significantly more than it cost to run NPAS for a whole year. Not that I am advocating that money would in any way resolve the ‘Wakefield Problem.’ They would probably use it to buy a new hangar somewhere, anywhere. Bryn Elliott LAW ENFORCEMENT AUSTRALIA VICTORIA: A campaign to save “the first Victoria Police helicopter” has started after a news story started on News Channel 7.
