Nice cover pick for the November 2006, but this is a real combat search-and-rescue (CSAR) helo! U.S. Navy MH-60S, two M240 7.62mm machine guns from the gunners window, two GAU-21 .50-caliber machine guns from the cabin doors and eight Hellfire missiles. Missiles are targeted with the AN/AAAS-44C Infrared Multispectral Targeting System Detecting Set, which also has low light-level TV, color TV and fused imagery. --Ken Caniglia, Navy H-60 Deputy Program Manager, NAS Patuxent River, MD
