This small and easy-to-handle helicopter, developed in the 1960s, proved to be a big technical and commercial success. Its reliability and performance make it a valuable aircraft for civilian and military operators in at least fifty different nations. This particular version derives from the model 530 Defender and is in service with the U.S. Army Special Forces, which use it for reconnaissance and night surveillance thanks to an infrared night vision system, which, together with the helicopter’s low noise level, makes it a perfect and silent “Night Fox”.
