Crosslink MQ-8B Video to MH-60S

•

Tactical relevance (interoperability)

• Sensor • Multi-axis video support for VBSS • • Coordinate high priority contact hand-off Radar data for surface surveillance • Weapon • • • • Simulates target designation for coordinated Hellfire shot Target verification prior to shot Applicable to MH-60R or S BDA •

Limitations

• MH-60S modifications • Need to configure for Radar • Non integrated • Antenna location: Top of helo to be operationally representative • • Non Secure Number of targets of interest - three
