Black Hawk

Black Hawk helicopters, particularly the UH-60M and HH-60W, are equipped with advanced situational awareness systems for enhanced operational effectiveness.

These include Multi-Function Displays (MFDs) that integrate digital moving maps, Synthetic Vision Systems (SVS), and Terrain Awareness and Warning Systems (TAWS), providing pilots with real-time navigation and obstacle avoidance.

The AN/APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver detects and classifies threats, while the AN/AVR-2B Laser Warning System alerts crews to enemy laser targeting.

Forward-Looking Infrared (FLIR) and the AN/AAQ-24 Nemesis Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) enable night vision and missile defense.

Additionally, Link 16 and secure SATCOM data links provide real-time battlefield intelligence and coordination with allied forces.

These technologies allow Black Hawks to operate effectively in complex combat, reconnaissance, and search-and-rescue missions.
