Summary

Description

"The Rooivalk is a 3rd generation attack helicopter from Denel Aviation, South Africa. It is designed around a fully-integrated digital management system. The cockpits are in stepped tandem configuration. The Weapons Systems Officer (WSO) is seated in the front cockpit and the pilot is seated in the cockpit above and behind the WSO. The cockpits, which are fitted with crashworthy seats and are armour-protected, are equipped with hands on collective and stick (HOCAS) controls.

The Rooivalk has a crash-resistant structure and is designed for stealth with low radar, visua, infrared and acoustic signatures. The Rooivalk carries a comprehensive range of weaponry selected for the mission requirement, ranging from anti-armour and anti-helicopter missions to ground suppression and ferry missions. The aircraft can engage multiple targets at short and long range, utilising the nose-mounted cannon and a range of underwing-mounted munitions."
