The Dragon heavy attack helicopter is a typical example of pregravitic battlefield aviation. Equipped to carry a heavy ordnance load as well as twelve fully loaded infantrymen, it is ideal for airmobile operations in areas of low to moderate antiaircraft threat. A full suite of sensor systems allows easy night operations. The ladar system can be used for target designation (particularly for the missile armament) as well as for search purposes.
