HeavyArty Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 (edited) The standard cargo/utility US Army UH-60 Black Hawk has gone through 3 basic versions. The initial one was the UH-60A wich can be distinguished by narrow step sponsons below the pilots doors. (Early A models also had open exhausts, while later ones have the HIRSS - Hover Infra-Red Suppression System). Next was the UH-60L, which has wider step sponsons to accomidate roll stabilizers. The most-current is the UH-60M which has down-turned blade tips; a square, folding stabilator on the tail; and redesigned, wide step sponsons. (Early Ms had HIRSS, while later ones have the UES - Upswept Exaust System). UH-60A (early w/open exhausts) UH-60L (w/HIRSS exhausts) UH-60M (w/UES) There are also 3 basic versions of Special Operations MH-60 Black Hawks. The first was the MH-60L which had the same features as a UH-60L, but also added a refeuling probe; a square, folding stabilator; nose-mounted weather radar; missile plume detectors, and an under-nose FLIR. Next was the MH-60K which added a different nose-mounted FLIR and weather radar setup and a bunch of different sensors on the nose, fuselage and tail. The latest is the MH-60M which has the same features as a standard UH-60M, plus all the features of the previos MH models, albeit a little different configuration (new nose radar/FLIR set-up). MH-60L MH-60K MH-60M Also, the MH-60L and MH-60M can affix ESSS (External Stores Support System) wings to hold weapons and are known as a DAP (Direct Action Penetrator) gunship when configured in thsi way. They then become an MH-60L DAP or MH-60M DAP. MH-60L DAP Edited July 31, 2015 by HeavyArty Quote Link to post Share on other sites
