Sikorsky Unveils Seahawk Version Offered to Singapore

Now just a model on the Sikorsky stand in Hall A, this distinctively configured aircraft could appear "in the flesh" at a future Asian Aerospace if its maker is successful in obtaining an order from Singapore's armed forces for an unspecified small number. Based on the SH-60 (alias S-70B) version supplied to Greece, the prospective variant most noticeably has a nose-mounted, forward-looking infrared turret and an external pylon system which allows it to carry a Penguin anti-ship missile and four Hellfire air-to-surface missiles, in addition to the usual Mk 40 torpedo and towed MAD "bird" stowed on the starboard side. For good measure-and SAR-there's a winch above the cabin door.
