By GlobalDataThe upgrade provides the helicopters with all-around visibility in order to facilitate the detection of all types of vessels and submarines.
In addition to increasing the detection and destruction range of the aircraft, advanced methods of transmitting information to land and ship based command posts have been installed on the helicopters as part of the initiative.
The ability to connection with other helicopters has also been modernised.
Ka-27-type helicopters have been designed to carry out anti-submarine warfare missions for the navy and can be integrated on-board a wide range of naval vessels, including aircraft carriers.
The Russian Naval Aviation’s helicopter fleet includes several Ka-27 multipurpose helicopters featuring various modifications.
Russian Helicopters was established in 2007 and is a subsidiary of Oboronprom United Industrial, which is part of Russian firm Rostec.
