A talented aircraft
The AS550 C3e Fennec is Eurocopter’s 2-ton class answer to Armed Forces requirements. Easy to operate in extreme and harsh conditions, this Armed Scout helicopter combines safety and performance.
A very small footprint, providing low detectability
Incredibly manoeuvrable and agile, the Fennec is perfectly designed to perform combat flight (nap of the earth - NOE). The Fennec is naturally stealth and NOE increases its protection against military threat.
The SAWS includes:
- A multipurpose mission computer
- An EO/IR with Infra Red camera, TV and laser range finder for observation, acquisition and tracking of targets
- A ballistic targeting system based on a Helmet Mounted Sight and Display (option)
- Two multi purpose weapon carriers with slaving units and release units
- A choice of weapon: gunpod, unguided and guided rockets and air-to-ground missiles
EOS (Electro-Optic System)
- 20 mm cannon pod
- 12.7 mm machine-gun pod
Guided missiles
- 12-tube rocket launcher
- 7-tube rocket launcher
State of the art technology
- Extensive use of composite material
- SPHERIFLEX® rotor head: no lubrication required, small amount of parts
- Interchangeable composite main rotor blades, infinite life, no corrosion
- Bearingless composite tail rotor blades.
