Features
TekFusion Global PATHFINDER™ Mission Management System
A customizable tool created from tactical and special operations experience, the Mission Management System (MMS) enables easy user navigation and seamless command and control of mission execution. The intuitive interface and advanced system enhance operational efficiency while reducing pilot workload. Target locations and ranges can be passed from PATHFINDER™ to an optional digital WMS. Launch Acceptable Regions (LAR) or Weapons Engagement Zones (WEZ) can be displayed on the PATHFINDER™ moving map.
Advanced EO/IR Sensor
Complete with both visible and infrared sensors, the EO/IR enables long-range, accurate identification of targets to pinpoint threats at a distance and degraded weather, day or night. The EO/IR can be integrated into and displayed directly onto the cockpit Multi-Function Displays (MFD) when equipped with the Bell Basix Pro avionics system.
CFD International Huey Ordnance Stores System
The CFD International design is a flexible, precision-engineered weapon stores system for combat aircraft. It is a low maintenance design with quick disconnect features to enable easy installation and removal of various mission kits such as munitions and external auxiliary fuel tanks. The modularity of the Huey Ordnance Stores System (HOSS) - integrates high-capacity ammunition magazines with two to four weapons stations plus a pintle mount simultaneously. The HOSS enables the versatility to deploy 2.75 inch rockets, precision-guided missiles, light torpedoes and to fixed forward 7.62 and/or .50 caliber crew-served and mini-guns guns.
TekFusion Global Weapons Management System
A scalable weapons management system that ranges from entry level gun and rocket systems to a fully integrated digital cockpit. Optimized for the Bell 412M, the TekFusion Global Weapons Management System (TFG WMS) reduces pilot workload for weapons targeting and deployment. The system includes built-in safety features to ensure the weapons system is not accidentally or prematurely deployed and ensures seamless coordination between the WMS and the PATHFINDER™ Mission Management System.
Survivability Features
From armored pilot seats and ballistic-tolerant main rotor blades to a self-sealing fuel system and infrared suppression system, Bell 412M utilizes durable, modern components to operate in any tactical environment. It can be equipped with detection of surface-to-air missiles and manual/automatic protection through chafe flare to ensure you safely return from the mission.
Additional Armament
