New Sf Light Helios, Lighten up 6thAAvReg

[Warhawk]

White Paper 2016, ,......Nice

A new capability for the ADF will be introduced with the acquisition of dedicated light helicopters to support Special Forces operations.

These light helicopters can be rapidly deployed in C-17s, and can insert, extract and provide fire support for small teams of Special Forces undertaking tasks ranging from tactical observation through to counter-terrorism missions, or hostage recovery.

Hope they're US Born and Bred ;)and,. Perhaps the EADS North America UH-72A Lakota or , my bet,...just another name for a "light Coyote coloured" Sikorsky MH-60M Black Hawk???? :o

Another option might be the EC-135 given the pending entry of this aircraft as part of the HATS.

Another name that has cropped up on the Facebook page is the MH-6 Little Bird. There seems to be a few options out there.

I wonder if the Blackhawk might be a bit large for the requirement.

It will be interesting to see what that requirement is when it eventually comes out.
