Unterstützungshubschrauber Tiger

Links und rechts am Helm sind zwei restlichtverstärkende Kameras eingebaut, deren Bilder auf das Visier projiziert werden können, um konventionelle Nachtsichtgeräte zu ersetzen. Der Helm ist mit Sensorenausgestattet, welche die Kopfbewegungen des Piloten erkennen, um das Dach- oder Mastvisier beziehungsweise die Turmmaschinenkanone entsprechend zu steuern. Der Tiger ist ein deutsch-französischer Kampfhubschrauber von Eurocopter. Ursprünglich war er in Deutschland als Panzerabwehrhubschrauber 2 (PAH-2) bezeichnet worden, die Bundeswehr führt ihn seit seiner Einführung aber als Unterstützungshubschrauber Tiger (UHT). Er wurde für die vier Hauptaufgaben Panzerabwehr, Einsatz gegen feindliche Hubschrauber, Aufklärung und zur Unterstützung eigener Kräfte entwickelt. Auffälligan dem UHT ist das über dem Hauptrotor angebrachte Mastvisier OSIRIS, das die Beobachtung oder Aufklärung aus der Deckung heraus ermöglichtund so die Entdeckung des Hubschschraubers erschwert. © Bundeswehr /Mandt
