This study was initiated to investigate the feasibility of launching cruise missiles from helicopters. In addition to determining the feasibility of a helicopter-launched cruise missile, a configuration was developed and a concept of operations was developed that consists of a flight of three CH-53E helicopters. Two of these helicopters carry eight cruise missiles each; the third carries a security force. This flight could be dispersed to the field and maintained in the field by use of the security force helicopter and alternate load-carrying helicopters required under present regulations governing movement of nuclear weapons. Operational constraints of security and weather were investigated, and the cost of acquiring and maintaining a helicopter-launched cruise missile force was estimated. (ERA citation 07:044613)
