A small armed helicopter developed in Korea, LAH, will be linked with an unmanned aerial vehicle to increase the survival rate and operational effectiveness by 50%.

In addition, joint operations have become possible with data links that share tactical information through wired, wireless and satellite.

Reporter Lee Seung-yoon on the report.

LAH, a small attack helicopter, rushes to the assault by the sudden appearance of an enemy.

As soon as the wheel touches the ground, it rises vertically and prepares for a counterattack.

High-speed flight acrobatics are also possible in reverse.

LAH transformed a civilian helicopter into a military helicopter in Korea in 2011 to replace the old attack helicopter of the army.

It has excellent mobility and is armed with air-to-ground missiles, machine guns, and rocket bombs, allowing it to attack tanks, cover air assault troops, and search missions.

In particular, it is a plan to increase the survival rate and operational effectiveness by 50% compared to a single helicopter operation with a manned and unmanned complex system that is linked with UAVs and UAVs.

For the first time in a helicopter, joint operations are possible by attaching a data link that shares real-time tactical information through wired, wireless and satellite communication.

We also made plans to deliver 212 units to the army and target overseas markets such as Thailand, Vietnam, UAE, Malaysia, and the Philippines, but there are many mountains to overcome.

The engine and gearbox are made in foreign countries and the localization rate is 60%.

Competition with Indian, Chinese, Turkish, Italian, and French helicopters was also challenging, so we decided to challenge ourselves with only a third of Apache helicopters.

The LAH small attack helicopter is expected to enter mass production from next year and knock on the Southeast Asian market.
