HELICOPTER ACCURACY STUDY

Abstract

The accuracy of the XM153 (Quad) armament subsystem was determined. Target acquisition and tracking capabilities of this subsystem were compared with those (results) presented in Emerson Electric Manufacturing Company, Report 1165. Basic accuracy of the 7.62mm M73 machine gun fired from the HU-1A helicopter equipped with the XM153 armament subsystem was determined. Also, basic accuracy of the 7.62mm M60 machine gun fired from the H-13H helicopter equipped with the XM2 armament subsystem was determined. Recommendations were made for improvement of the XM153 armament subsystem, and for future study and evaluation of the helicopter armament program. Test procedure is described and results discussed.
