5x OH-30 Vanguard helicopters



The OH-30 Vanguard is a light utility helicopter manufactured by Argus Industrial Manufacturing and the Vanguard Alliance, a coalition of Juuman aerospace firms lead by Nijino Rotodynamics, for service in the Amastoli Royal Guards, Remarkably Sane Dominion's Army, and Remarkably Sane Dominion's Navy. The New Hayesalian Military uses the OH-38 Vanguard in a training, observation, and light air support role. The OH-30 is chiefly used by the Royal Montmarian Guard and the New Hayesalian Army in observation and light support roles, and is also useful in the forward air control, air interdiction and special forces infil/exfil role.

Pilots wear the same body armour system and 9LAND battle management system as BASTION, with the ACH and flight suit. The Aviator Combat Helmet is designed to provide pilots with binocular-wide field-of-view, give night vision abilities and scare enemy pilots at first sight.

ACH is equipped with numerous cutting-edge technologies, like extreme off-axis targeting and head tracking "providing the pilot with unprecedented situational awareness and tactical capability." In helicopter gunships, retina tracking software allows gunners to fire at what they are directly looking at, not what their head is facing.

The ACH offers a pilot or other aircrew:

- Binocular Wide Field-of-View
- Integrated day/night capability with sensor fusion
- Highly accurate head and eye tracking hardware and software
- Digital image source for helmet vision displayed symbology
- Custom helmet shell, liner and suspension system for lightest weight, optimal C.G. and maximum pilot comfort.

The pilots flight suit is specially made by New Hayesalian companies to be one of the best in the world. A one piece suit in FEAR camouflage, worn with thermal undergarments in cold climates, provides rugged protection from fire and flash with Nomex materials.

The flight suit is interwoven with advanced materials providing light protection from shrapnel, in the instance that an aircraft were to be hit by an opposing missile or suffer a major failure. The flight suit is air and water tight, as well as waterproof, which enhances survivability in the event of survival on water. A hood is zipped into the collar, allowing for protection from the sun in the instance of a survival situation. A large number of pockets and inbuilt kneeboards make this suit useful and comfortable for pilots.

Pilots of the SAF are generally armed with the Model 15 Personal Defence Weapon.

Biography of Outfit: The Special Aviation Force has been developed as a group of the Military's most advanced rotary and tilt rotor pilots. It's ranks filled with members of the NH Navy, Army and Royal Montmarian Guards and some other services, the nation's best helicopter pilots find their way into one of the special squadrons of the SAF. Using the best aircraft and recruiting pilots and ground crews to complement them, the SAF provides most of the helicopter support to the 100th Special Operations Legion.

The SAF was founded in 1982 in response to SF concerns about inconsistencies between various helicopter squadrons from different parts of the Union, as well as different service branches. Starting with the famed Huey helicopters they have grown to comprise 25 Special Squadrons flying eight types of aircraft- all expertly at night, at high speeds, low altitudes and on short notice. They must also deploy with an absolute minimum of personnel and equipment and as such, pilot/observer pairs must be capable of intermediate repair work and preventative maintenance.

20 Special Squadron flying the light OH-30 Vanguards bring troops on target with immense speed. Footage of the 20th Special Squadron flying MH-6 Little Birds before the introduction of the Vanguards, alongside 6 and 24 Special Squadrons, can be viewed here.

Rude dude.

Just for that you can be sarge.

[Hurtful Thoughts]

I like York and North personally.

I think I've got RL dibbs on York what with the concussion, and partial deafness/blindness on the left side, plus randomly useful cryptography-skillz.

That said, pairing me up with Wash = Nothing will get done, but nobody will care.

Pretty sure I've got a zippo lighter 'round here somewhere...

RvB, I see.

I'll take some time to post tomorrow.

[Empire of Donner land]

Fine, griff.
