gather and record essential mission information and effi ciently display key parameters on a tablet computer such as an iPad. Cable load, hook height above the ground, aircraft AGL altitude and other information is overlaid on a day/night video image. This will not only improve mission eff ectiveness, but also may be saved and used as a valuable training tool. An interactive fl ight crew checklist is also being evaluated.
In addition to transmitting information to the sensors, the enhanced hook will be equipped with powerful LED lights for improved visibility during hoist operations.

This model is being developed based on the upgraded Mi-8AMTSh-V transport helicopter, which features new Klimov VK-2500-03 turboshaft engines, a more powerful TA-14 auxiliary power plant and upgraded avionics.
The Mi-8AMTSh-VA is designed to excel in the extreme weather conditions of the Arctic and Far North. It is being developed with low temperatures and low fl ight visibility in mind, including during conditions of 24-hour darkness. The helicopter is capable of carrying out fl ights even when navigation is challenging, for example, if a satellite signal is lost.
The Mi-26 heavy military transport helicopter is used by the Armed Forces to carry paratrooper divisions and transport outsized equipment. The Mi-26 can carry up to 82 fully armed troopers or up to 20
