Five of the 15 H145Ms that will be operated by the Luftwaffe on behalf of the Kommando Spezialkrafte Bundeswehr (KSK) in the special forces role have now been delivered.
A laser designator will be integrated into the nose- mounted Wescam MX-15HD electro-optical system, enabling a range of future laser-guided weapons to be used.
A Dillon M134D Gatling Gun is among the standard weapons on the H145M.
Weapons currently cleared for carriage on the removable pylons attached to either side of the cabin include the 12.7mm FN Herstal HMP400 gun pod and/or Forges Zeebrugge FZ233 7-shot lightweight rocket pod.
The cockpit is fitted with fully integrated Garmin GTN750 GPS/NAV/COM/MFD units and Airbus Helicopters' latest Helionix digital avionics suite.
