Low level combat simulations were applied to study the attrition of utility tactical transport helicopters (UTTH's) in their proposed roles as the Canadian Army's sole tactical aviation asset. A preliminary analysis is presented of the UTTH in the reconnaissance role only, using the HELSCAM combat simulator program. The effects of the flown nap-of-the-earth altitude and the physical signature of a reconnaissance helicopter on its survivability are examined. The scenarios were simulated with the UTTH at two altitudes: 2 m and 5 m. The observed loss rate at the higher altitude was more than double that at the lower altitude. In addition, the larger size of the UTTH compared to a conventional light observation helicopter operating at the same altitude, increased its loss rate by about 18 percent. The results suggest that the operational doctrine used for the UTTH can have a significant impact on its potential survivability and hence on its performance.
