European helicopter manufacturer AgustaWestland is developing a palletized airborne mine countermeasures (AMCM) system for installation on the three-engine, fully marinized EH-101. “With over 300 types of mines that can be deployed from aircraft, surface vessels or submarines, the threat to shipping is growing and can be effectively countered by the AMCM EH-101,” claims the company, also pointing to its one-engine-inoperative safety, the ability to tow all current and future AMCM systems coupled with a long on-station towing endurance. The palletized system also allows rapid reconfiguration to a wide range of other roles.
