Airbus Helicopters has delivered the first two of eight H145s to the Bavarian Police. The five-blade helicopters will be used for pilot and crew transition training from the force’s current H135 fleet, which has been in service for more than 12 years. Delivery of H145s fully kitted with police packages will begin in mid-2024.

Those H145s will feature a computer system with tactical police mission software, easily operated from a dedicated mission command station in the cabin or by the copilot/technical flight officer via a stowable monitor. Other features will include onboard cameras, searchlights, a hoist, customer-specified tactical radios and datalinks, and illuminated blade tips to improve the safety of night operations.
