The TTH (Tactical Transport Helicopter) is the NH90 version which is developed under a contract of the NATO agency, NAHEMA, representing France, Germany, Italy and the Netherlands. Three of these countries intent to use this version for many different missions in their Armies and Air Forces. The NH90 helicopter is under development since 1992 and had his maiden flight in Dec. 1995. A presentation of the mission system and specific mission equipment is given to show the status of this development. The mission system provides a high degree of flexibility due to architectural design and SW-layout. It may be adapted to different missions by easy changes of its configuration. Additionally the present development is also taking the necessary provision's for further extensions to more specialized missions which its vast cabin allows. For the first time a transport helicopter is equipped with a high sophisticated mission flight aid which is part of the mission system. These mission flight aid provides the helicopter with an effective capability for day, night and adverse weather conditions. Especially the VSA (Vertical Situation Aids) - consisting of a modern FLIR (Forward Looking Infrared), a visor-projecting binocular HMS/D including IIT (Image Intensifier Tubes) and an OWS (Obstacle Warning System) - is described in more detail. These three mission equipment's are highly integrated to give the pilots an on-line FLIR or IIT presentation projected on the HMS/D's visor overlaid by symbology. This allows a 'looking-ahead' capability.
