Four AIM-92 Stinger missiles (2 on each side) are mounted for air-to-air combat.
The UHT can carry PARS 3 LR "fire and forget" and/or HOT3 anti-tank missiles as well as 70 mm Hydra air-to-ground fire support rockets. The UHT (from Unterstützungshubschrauber Tiger German for Support Helicopter Tiger) is a medium-weight multi-role fire support helicopter built for the Bundeswehr (German Armed Forces). It is fitted with a chin-mounted 30 mm gun turret and can carry 68 mm SNEB unguided rockets or 20 mm machine cannons for the fire support role as well as Mistral air-to-air missiles. The Tiger HAP/HCP (Hélicoptère d'Appui Protection, French for "Support and Escort Helicopter" / Hélicoptère de Combat Polyvalent French for "Multipurpose Combat Helicopter") is a medium-weight air-to-air combat and fire support helicopter built for the French Army. German crew is equipped with HMSD from BAE systems.Īustralian Tigers crew use the TopOwl HMSD from Thales Avionics. Helmet-Mounted Sight DisplayFrench helicopters are equipped with TopOwl helmet-mounted sight for both pilot/co-pilot and one HUD for the pilot from Thales Avionics. The system cost (helicopter, armament, support) depends on number and version: Some variants have enhanced engines, such as the Tiger HAD or some UHTs. The Tiger is powered by two MTU Turbomeca Rolls-Royce MTR390 turboshaft engines. Radios: HF, MF, VHF, UHF, military SATCOM, GPS receiver, and datalink. The navigation system contains two Thales Avionique three-axis ring laser gyro units, two magnetometers, two air data computers, BAE Systems Canada CMA 2012 four-beam Doppler radar, radio altimeter, global positioning system, and a suite of low air speed sensors and sensors for terrain following.ĭatalinks: Link 4A, Thales Proprietary PR4G, STANAG 5066 Its visual, radar, infrared, sound signatures have been minimized. Installed in the helicopter are an AN/AAR-60 MILDS System ensuring radar warning, a laser warning system, and a missile launch/approach detector developed by EADS DE, all connected to a central processing unit from Thales and a SAPHIR-M chaff/flare dispenser from MBDA. The EC Tiger is capable of stopping 23 mm autocannon fire. The seats are offset to opposite sides of the centerline to improve the view forward for the gunner in the back.Ĭrews coming to the Tiger from other platforms require additional training because the additional capabilities bring a higher workload. While the Tiger has a conventional helicopter gunship configuration of the two crew sitting in tandem, it is somewhat unusual in that the pilot is in the front seat and the gunner is in the back, unlike all other current attack helicopters. Protection against lightning and electromagnetic pulse is ensured by embedded copper/bronze grid and copper bonding foil.
The rotors are made from fiber-plastic able to withstand combat damage and bird strikes. Actual product may vary slightly from the pictures shown.The body of the Tiger is made from 80% carbon fiber reinforced polymer and kevlar, 11% aluminium, and 6% titanium. Item Type: Static kit Length: 219.5 mm (rotor rotating) Rotor diameter: 178.7 mm Total Sprues: 4 sprues Camouflage Scheme: French Army Eurocopter EC-665 Tigre HAP, F-ZVLJ.H257 Kit consists of 95 parts in light grey plastic, 2 clear parts for canopy, left and right fuselage are slide-moulded w/fine detail This kit is a detailed scale model for hobbyists. Three were to be unarmed testbeds and the other two armed prototypes: one for the German anti-tank variant and the other for the French escort helicopter variant. Subsequently, in November 1989, Eurocopter received a contract to build 5 prototypes. The EUROCOPTER Group, owned 70% by AEROSPATIALE France and 30% by Daimler Aerospace (DASA) of Germany, Due to high costs, the program was canceled in 1986, but was relaunched during 1987. In 1984 the French and German governments issued a requirement for an advanced multi-role battlefield helicopter, program beginning late. In Germany it is known as the EC-665,and in France it is called the PAH-2.
