H215M
Missions
Airbus’ H125M is the most capable armed scout helicopter in its class, tailored for a range of missions with excellent capabilities in high and hot environments.
The H215M can carry a crew of two to three plus up to 24 troops for transport missions, and can accommodate six patients on stretchers – plus 10 other passengers – on medical evacuation flights.
The H215M offers exceptional range and endurance of over 600 NM or six hours that can be extended by hover in-flight refuelling (HIFR).
It can be operated in all weather (including in icing conditions) and offers high mission efficiency thanks to its quick start-up procedure (around five minutes) and speed. Its pilot assistance and SAR modes are derived from the H225.
It can be fitted with a dual-side window 7.62 mm gun, fast roping or rappelling kit and unique personnel extraction devices (cluster/grappe or basket).
Armaments that are qualified for H215M firing missions include a dual-side window 7.62 mm gun, side-door mounted 20 mm gun, 20 mm gun pod of 180 rounds, 19 2.75-inch rocket launchers, and side-mounted rapid-fire machine guns.
