Ship-Helicopter System Analysis

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: AD0774764 | Open PDF

Abstract:

The objective of the report is to identify limitations to Coast Guard ship-helicopter shiphelo operations on WMEC and WHEC class vessels, and to study possible ways to remove these limitations to increase shiphelo utilization. A systems analysis technique was used to identify and describe the interrelationships among the system elements which affect shiphelo operations. Inherent limitations of ships and helicopters are described, as well as possible missions and modes of combined operations. Special consideration is given to the HARPOON, BEARTRAP, and SHAG helicopter rapid-securing and release systems.
