HYTS
The Helicopter Capture and Transfer System
The Helicopter Capture and Transfer System (BIRDTRAP) is a system designed to enable Sikorsky Sea Hawk SH-70 TN model helicopters to safely land on the deck area of military ships (frigates, patrol boats, supply ships, etc.) in adverse sea conditions, both during the day and at night, without requiring an operator. It ensures the secure landing of the helicopter, immediate securing after landing, transfer to the hangar, and facilitates the reverse process until the helicopter takes off from the deck.
Capture Time in 3 seconds
Thanks to the image processing and position calculation capabilities integrated within the product, Sea Hawk SH-70 TN helicopters can be safely secured within 3 seconds from the moment they land on the deck. The relevant operation is performed autonomously without any personnel support, ensuring personnel safety is not compromised.
Seas State 4 Capture Capability
The Sea Hawk SH-70TN enables safe landing of helicopters on the deck during adverse weather conditions. This allows personnel, supplies such as food and ammunition, etc., to be safely delivered to the ship even in unfavorable weather conditions.
Integration with Different Ships
BIRDTRAP can be integrated into military ships of different classes. The system has the capability to be integrated into Corvette-class Frigates, Offshore Patrol Vessels, and Naval Supply and Combat Ships. It is ready to be installed on newly constructed ships for our Naval Forces.
