|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The EC725 Super Cougar (also named Caracal) ) is a long-range tactical transport helicopter designed, developed and manufactured by the French aviation industry Eurocopter. Introduced in 2005, the EC725 has seen combat service worldwide, including in Afghanistan. Evolved from experience gained with the Cougar family, theEC725 is the latest version of this medium lift (11-ton class) helicopter. EC725 has operated from ships and ashore. It is a truly multi-purpose, versatile military asset. The EC 725 was developed to meet a French Air Force requirement for a specialist helicopter for Combat Search & Rescue operations after the AS 532 A2 Cougar model was rejected for this purpose following extensive trials between 1996 and 1999. Special Ops, Combat SAR and Personal Recovery require performance, precise navigation and survivability. In these, the EC725 is outstanding. The French Forces are successfully operating the EC725 in the harshest possible environment, in Afghanistan. The success of the EC725 demonstrated in Afghanistan, reflects the excellent capabilities of the EC725 as a Force Multiplier and how this aircraft can offer decisive tactical advantage to any operator. |
