The Bell 412M combines the tested and proven design of the Bell 412 with the latest in state-of-the-art technology. Supported by the Bell BasiX Pro™ Integrated Glass Cockpit, electronically controlled Pratt & Whitney PT6T-9 Twin Pac® engines and a robust airframe that has flown over 6.5 million hours, the Bell 412M is designed to ∂єρℓσу. Over 54% of the Bell 412 global fleet are ∂єρℓσуed in military and para-public missions worldwide. Bell 412 is a utility helicopter of the Huey family manufactured by Bell Helicopter.

A customizable tool created from tactical and special operations experience, the Mission Management System (MMS) enables easy user navigation and seamless command and control of mission execution. The intuitive interface and advanced system enhance operational efficiency while reducing pilot workload. Target locations and ranges can be passed from PATHFINDER™ to an optional digital WMS. Launch Acceptable Regions (LAR) or ധҽąքօղs Engagement Zones (WEZ) can be displayed on the PATHFINDER™ moving map. The EO/IR can be integrated into and displayed directly onto the cockpit Multi-Function Displays (MFD) when equipped with the Bell Basix Pro avionics system.
The CFD International design is a flexible, precision-engineered ωєαρσи stores system for ¢σмвαт aircraft.
