Metro Aviation recently delivered the second of three customized Airbus H125 helicopters to the Baltimore Police Department’s aviation unit. The custom completions feature an aft tactical flight officer (TFO) station that mirrors the forward TFO station in the cockpit. The aft TFO station allows officers sitting in the back to monitor mapping systems and control the monitor’s downlink and LoJack automobile locator systems.

The completion also includes the Shotover augmented reality mapping system that combines street names, intersections, direction of travel, and speed on a single display, giving TFOs the freedom to stay focused on their target and optimize situational awareness. Each aircraft also is equipped with a Wescam MX-10 imaging system, Vislink downlink system, Macro-Blue tactical displays, and a Spectrolab Nightsun spotlight.
