Designed by the European Helicopter Industries (EHI) partnership
during the 1980s, initially as a naval helicopter to help combat
the threat of an attack from Soviet missile submarines, the Merlin
has evolved into a multi-role helicopter today. The AW101 combines
the most advanced technologies, safety by design, mission systems
and leading-edge manufacturing to provide a proven platform for
long-range Search and Rescue (SAR) operations in certain countries.
With a typical range of 750 nm (over 1,300 km) in standard
configuration, the AW101 is the most capable SAR helicopter in the
world today. Other roles include transportation for Heads of State
and VVIP operators; Intelligence Surveillance and Reconnaissance
(ISR); Maritime Interdiction Operations (MIO); Anti-Surface Warfare
(ASuW); Airborne Surveillance and Control (ASaC); Airborne Mine
Countermeasures (AMCM); troop transport; utility support,
CASEVAC/MEDEVAC; and Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR). Lavishly
illustrated throughout, Rich Pittman offers a fascinating portrait
of an enduring and popular aircraft and traces its journey from
design to the front line.
