Analytical Study of the Effects of Weight on Light Helicopter (LH) exposure to Ground-Based Weapons

Abstract

In support of the US Army Light Helicopter (LH) Program, the US Army Engineer Waterways Experiment Station (WES) was directed by the US Army Laboratory Command Survivability Management Office (SMO) to simulate typical LH missions using the WES Helicopter Mission Survivability (HELMS) Model and to determine the effect of increasing weight on aircraft exposure to ground-based weapons. This report describes the HELMS model and the missions simulated as well as the terrain used for the simulations. Simulation data are presented as well as the results of the study.
