As operations draw to a close in Afghanistan, European armed forces are reassessing their procurement strategies. Defence Helicopter takes a close look at some of the busiest military rotorcraft operators in the region and their modernisation plans.

Quality assurance
The Dutch Defence Helicopter Command prides itself on the calibre of its personnel. Defence Helicopter explores the various training efforts that are ensuring this remains the case.

Particle physics
In-service technology currently used to deal with brownout and similar flight conditions is regarded by industry as only a partial solution to the problem.

Seeing is believing
EO/IR systems continue to evolve, allowing many new capabilities to be introduced on helicopter operations. Defence Helicopter examines the potential of the technology and considers where the market is headed.

Taking it to the limit
Militaries often look to the upgrade market to cost-effectively boost capability, rather than acquire new types. Defence Helicopter finds out what methods are being employed to help increase the range and endurance of frontline rotorcraft.

Core requirements
The skies above future theatres of conflict are set to look significantly different should current US rotorcraft modernisation plans come to fruition. Defence Helicopter examines the engines that could potentially power these next-generation aircraft.

Custom configurations
The UH-60 Arpía gunships of the Colombian Air Force have undergone a number of upgrades over the years, and become a valuable asset in the country’s ongoing internal conflicts. Defence Helicopter relates the history of the programme and outlines current modernisation work.

Tail Spin
Major Martin ’t Jong, head of the training element of 299 Squadron, Dutch Helicopter Command, talks to Defence Helicopter about how the Helicopter Weapons Instructor Course has evolved and the possibilities for future international cooperation.
