The Indonesian Army has accepted delivery of six Bell 412EP twin-engine helicopters upgraded with BasiX Pro avionics, Bell Textron announced on Tuesday at Verticon 2025. Bell’s Basix Pro avionics retrofit kit replaces the helicopter’s original analog instruments with four Astronautics 6-by-8-inch high-resolution Badger Pro+ smart displays.

It also comes with Garmin GTN 750 Xi and GTN 650 Xi GPS navigators, a Mid-Continent standby attitude module, and an optional upgrade of the Honeywell SPZ-7600 automatic flight control system to a four-axis configuration. According to Bell, Basix Pro helps to reduce pilot workload and improve situational awareness.
