The 300 kg helicopter will feature a 100-HP fuel-injection engine giving it a top speed of 210 km/hour and an endurance of approximately eight hours. The aircraft can carry up to 90 kg of payload and includes gimbal-mounted high definition optical and thermal cameras. Potential missions include ice surveys, communications relay, coastal patrol and law enforcement, and search and rescue support.  First flight is expected in 2017.
