The Lucas Aerospace Actuation Division located at Wolverhampton, England, has been involved with the design and development of a gun system primarily intended as a self-defense capability for transport, surveillance, and support helicopters. Currently, the company has achieved success in qualifying the system on two Bell helicopters - the 412SP and the 212 model. The 412SP effort was the result of a joint engineering program between Bell and Lucas in 1986/87 and the 212 model effort was a joint association between Lucas and the Austrian Air Force, who provided the helicopter. This work was completed in September 1988, and the aircraft is now undergoing extensive in-country evaluation in winter conditions.
