Description
By Floyd S. Werner, Jr.
The OH-58D was Bell?s answer to the U.S. Army?s request for a
digital platform to aid new artillery. Originally unarmed as part
of the Army Helicopter Improvement Program, the OH-58D was based
on the OH-58C. It was, however, a completely new helicopter,
featuring a four-blade main rotor, a more powerful engine, a
multifunction display, and a Mast Mounted Sight (MMS). The MMS
was the basis for the upgrade, using a Television System, Thermal
Imaging System, and Laser Rangefinder/Designator. The
helicopter?s success led to the decision to arm it with two hard
points capable of holding either .50-caliber machine guns,
seven-shot rocket pods, Air-to-Air Stingers, or Hellfire
missiles. This book takes a detailed look at the Kiowa Warrior
with more then 200 color photos, color profiles, and detailed
line drawings; 80 pages.
