Reconnaissance helicopter is an aviation reconnaissance means that modern army aviation must equip. Reconnaissance helicopters are used to collect information at close range or near the battlefield area. Like the tactical reconnaissance plane, it mainly plays the reconnaissance role supported by the military. Because helicopters can hover in places that the enemy can't detect to collect information and data, reconnaissance helicopters are still one of the main military aircraft to collect information and data.

Step 2 transport

Transport helicopters refer to helicopters used to transport and carry materials, and also refer to helicopters that can carry soldiers in the military. There are many kinds, and some armed helicopters have the same carrying capacity. Transport helicopters can carry out airborne assault, transport wounded soldiers and transport materials on the battlefield. Most importantly, the transport helicopter has no terrain restrictions and can be replenished vertically. It is an indispensable mobile force in modern warfare.

Step 3 rescue

Rescue helicopter is a helicopter used to search and rescue parachuting pilots and other victims who have been hit by plane crashes or on land and water. It is usually converted from medium and light helicopters. The plane is equipped with medical personnel, a certain number of stretchers and medicines, instruments and devices for medical rescue of the wounded and sick on board. Some ambulance helicopters are also equipped with search and rescue devices to search and rescue victims.

Step 4 attack

Attack helicopter is a kind of military helicopter, which is mainly used to attack ground targets such as infantry, armored vehicles and buildings. The main weapons are artillery and machine guns, rockets and precision guided missiles.

Many attack helicopters can also be equipped with air-to-air missiles, but they are mainly used for self-defense. Today's attack helicopters are mainly used for two purposes: to provide direct and accurate close air support for ground troops and to destroy armored targets assembled by enemy forces.

5. Early warning

An air battlefield early warning and command and control helicopter composed of early warning radar, data link, communication equipment and command and control terminal is added to the general helicopter or transport helicopter.

Extended data

Helicopters are used more and more in human production and life, and there is a continuous demand for helicopters in the global market. Especially in emerging markets, with the development of economy, the demand for helicopters is large and growing rapidly. 43% of the world's helicopters have been in service for more than 25 years, and the demand for upgrading further increases the demand for helicopter production.

According to the statistics of Zhiyan Data Research Center, it is predicted that at least 16970 helicopters will be delivered in the global helicopter market from 201/kloc-0 to 2020, with a total value of14 billion US dollars. Among them, civilian helicopters 10900, valued at $34 billion, and military helicopters, valued at 106 billion.

There is a big gap between China's helicopter equipment and foreign countries. The number of military helicopters per 10,000 soldiers is only 2. 1 frame, which is less than one tenth of the level of developed countries. The number of civilian helicopters is only 0.06, far below the level of developed countries. China's helicopter industry needs improvement.
