Height: 5.8 meters (gear extended)
Length (fuselage): 16.5 meters
Weight: 6500kg (empty), 8100 kg (fully armed and fueled)
Crew: 2 (pilot, Weapon's Officer/Navigator) seated in tandem
Engine: Twin GSX12-A44 turbines with 2400 lbs of thrust each
Speed: 208 mph maintained (cruise), 214 maximum short burst speed
Rotor: 4 Blade SB-ARSHR
Rotor diameter: 14 meters
Vertical climb rate: 18 meters per second
Service ceiling: 4600 meters
Systems:
ALMRS/TTAC-04 Mk. II system: Tracks up to 210 enemies and ranks them according to range, heading, threat level, and unit-type to provide best possible firing solution. Tracks their range and heading at ranges up to 200km. Can fire on up to 8 enemy units simultaneously.
ARENA: Scrambles enemy ATGM's radars and tracking systems.
AEISCN-01: Shares target information with other friendly units in the field along with other information, also allows friendly units in large numbers to make coordinated attacks through out the battlefield. Also allows friendly units to instantly reorganize into new squadrons and divisions for new assaults and also relays all information back to command. This system also checks in every 10 minutes (or shorter; can be adjusted) with GPS and military satellites to update terrain and enemy movements.
SB-ACDAMS-02: Anti-missile and countermeasure deployment system. Automatically launches countermeasures and scrambles enemy radar as well as providing the pilot with paths that provide a chance to out-maneauver the missile (not likely).
AHUD-3D: Advanced Heads-Up Display, displays all information about enemy unit including possible routes. Provides direct fire scenarios and target areas. Can be configured to cover entire window-area of cockpit.
FLIR, Laser Designator
Armament:
Hardpoints: 9 (1 under nose, two under body, six on wing pylons [three on each pylon]) (All countermeasures are housed in tail assembly and do not require a hardpoint)
Can be outfitted with:
S55-QB 12.7mm 4-barrel Chaingun or S55-QC 23mm twin-barrel cannon
Small-rocket rocket pods (57mm or 80mm)
AT-6C Spiral ATGMs (or any ATGM)
30 mm heavy cannons (mounted in wing pylon)
Anti-air missiles
Survivability:
Armored Cockpit
Ejection seats with automatically jettisoned blades.
Infrared signature suppressors on engine manifold, exhuast ports
Radar warning receivers, advanced anti-missile equipment, rotor brake, chaff&flares, IFF, infrared jammers
Specialized noise reduction and dampering around tail rotor, reduces noise by roughly 60 percent. Blades and blade housing has been strengthened and reinforced to increase survivability.
Notes: Has retractable landing gear and limited stealth capabilities.
Cost: $14.7 million USD
