The AH-1 Super Cobra is a twin-engine attack helicopter
capable of land- or sea-based operations. It provides rotary-wing close
air support (CAS), anti-armor/anti-helicopter, armed escort, armed and
visual reconnaissance, and supporting arms coordination (SAC) during
day/night and adverse weather conditions.
A major upgrade of the Bell Super Cobra known as the H-1 programme is
underway. The programme calls for the remanufacture of the US Marine
Corps fleet of 180 AH-1W Super Cobra and 100 UH-1N utility helicopters
to an advanced four-bladed configuration, which will operate to beyond
2020. An upgraded cockpit configuration allows easy co-pilot access to
the night targeting system (NTS). These are also remanufactured with
"zero-time" airframes comprising advanced technology.
