G'day guys
just hoping someone can put names to these parts, i did make a thread similar to this a while back, but im still very confused
I need the names of those two things either side of the nose, the "dome" on the very front of the nose, and also the "dome" that is under the nose.
i hope someone can help me!
cheers!




pics is from www.specialoperations.com

The "dome" under the helicopter is the FLIR turret (the horizontal dome is that radar if I remember right). The two things are Radar Warning Receiver "buttons" There are a couple of others around the helicopter. I believe you can find the specific locations (and some discriptions) in Squadron's Blackhawk Walkaround. These buttons are also found on Apaches and I think OH-58D Kiowa Warriors.

If I'm not mistaken this is an MH-60L. You could check it out here MH-60L . Hope this helps.

USNavy2534 is correct. The turret under the nose is a FLIR(Forward Looking InfraRed) turret. This system enables the aircrew to see things clearer at night by creating contrast with the heat of the objects being viewed.

The long round item sticking out the front of the nose is a low-level flight terrain imaging radar. Someone correct me if I am mistaken.

The two small "blisters" are early detection/warning systems that detect the tracking/launch of heat-seeking and/or radar guided missles.

Thanks guys, i really appreciate it, but i have heard so many different names for all these parts, could someone possibly show me pictures of...


-Aux fuel tanks

-Plume detectors

-Nose mounted Radar

-laser detectors

i need to know what these parts look like
cheers

Hey LWF! Well, for the most part you've got them. The plume detectors/laser detectors are the little 'spy-eye' looking deals on the nose. The're part of the countermeasure system for the A/C and detect missile launch/laser desinators directed at the helo. Nose mounted radar is the big bulge in your pic. The aux fuel tanks can take at least 2 shapes- either a large bladder that takes up the aft 1/3rd of the cargo compartment, or torpedo shapes which are slung beneath the pylons.
HTH!

G'day Robert

The bulge extending horizontally from the nose is the radar while the downward vertical bulge is the FLIR.
