The report presents results of a study to assess the avionics capability of the present generation Navy combat search and rescue helicopters (HH-3A's). The study used interviews of experienced combat SAR pilots. Analyses were performed to evaluate the baseline HH-3A avionics and presently available avionic equipments against various search and environmental conditions. The most cost-effective improvement to the present HH-3A avionic capability for search and rescue was found to be Night-Vision Goggles for the pilot and a crew member. (Author)
