S-70B™ ASW Helicopter

The S-70B SEAHAWK aircraft offers standard and optional equipment for superior offensive and defensive operations in open-ocean and littoral environments. In an ASW mission, the S-70B helicopter is deployed from the parent ship to classify, localize and potentially attack when a suspected threat has been detected by the ship's towed-array sonar, hull-mounted sonar, or by other internal or external sources. The S-70B has the capacity to carry homing torpedoes, such as the EuroTorp A244 or MK-46.

Straight forward design allows for quick configuration changes to fit your mission requirements. The S-70B model has been designed by pilots, operators and maintainers for pilots, operators and maintainers keeping focus on day and night missions. In the ASW mode, the interior is designed to reduce operator workload and promote ease of operations.
