Sikorski UH-60L DAP

Wallpaper Description:

A modified UH-60 Blackhawk helicopter, the MH-60L Direct Action Penetrator (DAP) is a gunship operated by the US Army's 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR), or the 'Nightstalkers'.

The DAP would not normally carry troops. Instead, it is used to provide close air support and escort for US special operations helicopters and ground troops.

The MH-60L is a highly upgraded UH-60 Blackhawk

Additions includes a FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared) camera and terrain-following radar, upgraded transmission and a host of defensive countermeasures.

These souped-up Blackhawks need all this extra kit to carry out the demanding and dangerous missions asked of them.

The MH-6OL DAP Features;

all-weather capability
air-transportable in US cargo planes
extreme low level flying capability due to terrain following radar

A number of weapons can be attached to the helicopter via the external stores support system (esss), allowing for rapid reconfiguration to meet specific mission demands.

Common loadouts include rocket pods, M230 30mm chain guns, AGM-114 Hellfire anti-tank missiles,and trainable 7.62mm miniguns.

Integrated fire control systems and a head-up-display (HUD) allow the crew to aim the weapons.

MH-60L DAPs have seen combat in Iraq, where their diverse weapons load and advanced sensors make them ideal for engaging insurgents.
