Autopilot/AFCS (Automatic Flight Control System) is an avionics suite that automatically controls a helicopter’s attitude, navigation and flight path, providing stability augmentation and reducing pilot workload.

Chaff/Flare: Countermeasures deployed by attack helicopters to disrupt radar- or heat-seeking missiles by creating false targets or decoys.

Armored protective panels installed in the cockpit area of an attack helicopter to shield the crew from small arms fire and shrapnel.

Seats designed to absorb crash forces, reducing injury to occupants.

DIRCM/IRCM systems on attack helicopters that detect and disrupt infrared-guided missiles using directed energy or counter-radiation signals.

Combined forward-looking infrared (FLIR) and electro-optical (EO) sensor turret for target acquisition and tracking, typically mounted on aircraft or ground vehicles.

A glass cockpit is an aircraft cockpit featuring electronic instrument displays, typically LCD or CRT screens, replacing traditional analog gauges.

Electronic receiver system that detects and identifies radar signals, alerting aircraft to potential threats for defensive countermeasures.

A mechanical device used to lift personnel or cargo via a cable, typically mounted on helicopters for rescue or recovery operations.

Fuel tanks equipped with a material that automatically seals punctures from small arms fire or shrapnel to prevent leakage and reduce fire risk.

A radar system used to detect and track precipitation, storm intensity, and wind patterns to assist in flight operations and mission planning.
