RTI JSC is developing a broadband system for helicopters.


The Ka-52 Alligator reconnaissance and attack helicopter will be the only one in the world to receive a broadband communication system, said General Director of RTI JSC Pavel Laptaev.


“We are developing a broadband system for helicopters. It is installed on the Ka-52 helicopter as a communication system. Today, the Ka-52 is the only helicopter in the world that is equipped with a high-speed data transmission system, ”TASS quoted him as saying.


Laptaev said that foreign partners became interested in this system and it is already installed on machines shipped abroad.


The Ka-52 Alligator helicopter was created on the basis of the Ka-50 Black Shark attack helicopter. Unlike the latter, it is a two-seater. It is designed to destroy armored and unarmored vehicles, manpower and air targets on the battlefield.


The Alligator is the only modern attack helicopter built on a coaxial propeller scheme. Its advantages are the ability to not use the tail rotor, which means that there is no need to spend engine power on it.
