    The A109POWERs reliability is assured by a

    fully separated fuel system supplying its twin

    engines, plus a dual hydraulic boost system,

    dual electr ical system and redundant

    lubrication and cooling systems for the main

    transmission and engines. And an air oil

    absorber for each wheeled type landing gear

    leg increases the crashworthiness and ship-

    deck operational capabilities. A wide range of

    mission equipment and armament

    make the A109POWER a real

    multirole light helicopter able to

    satisfy the vast majority of requirements such as: Area patrolling, Search and

    Rescue, EMS, Passengers transport. Many of these missions are often performed

    in difficult and unfavourable environmental conditions including night flight under

    adverse weather. This demands that the helicopter crew are provided with

    assisted flight controls (Autopilot) and autonomous and reliable COM/NAV aids

    providing real low-altitude and poor visibility flying capabilities. The A109 POWER

    responds to this demand with a complete advanced avionics suite. Participation in

    operations in cooperation with naval units is enhanced by the installation of a

    360 or 120 search radar and maritime band radios extending the engagement

    horizon of the vessels to track and target suspect ships with information relayed

    by voice or datalink.

    A mul titude of A GUSTA he licop ters have operat ed i n the harsh m aritim e

    environment over extended periods of time, starting with the venerable AB204,

    our experience continued on the AB212 and SH-3D, and today is provided on the

    EH101 and NH-90 helicopters for the Italian, British, French, German, Dutch and

    other Navies. All this aptly demonstrating the success of Agustas time-proven

    use of established materials, protective finishes and processes. And this

    experience affords the A109POWER unrestricted operations in the "salt laden, over

    the sea environment without corrosion or other long-term degradation of

    structural or system properties.

    Today, the A109 operates in maritime missions for a multitude of

    prestigious organizations including, among others, the United States

    Coast Guard. The A109POWER is actually the best solution for an

    embarked l ight twin helicopter, due to its multi-miss ion

    effectiveness, the extensive corrosion protection and high sea state

    operation capability . The ability to operate from small ships in high

    sea state enables the A109POWER to perform its mission when

    many other helicopters would be confined in the ships hangar.

    The A109POWERs reinforced wheeled landing gear is the perfect

    solution for easy ground/deck mobility and ship interface, and

    More than ever before, a nations effective surveillance

    and patrol of its coasts and borders are paramount for

    its protection of national interests and security. Today, a

    nations ability to provide that protection against terrorist

    intrusion, smuggling, illegal immigration, and illegal

    fishing, among others, requires modern assets, means

    and technologies to help ensure that protection is

    provided successfully and effectively.

    With a long tradition of excellent performance in a wide

    range of roles and operating environments, the Agusta

    A109POWER is that asset.

    With its wide array of sophi stica ted sensors , t he

    A109POWER light twin turbine engine helicopter offers the

    capacity to control and monitor wide areas of concern.

    Joined with the A109POWERs performance, ballistic

    tolerances, safety features and crashworthiness

    characteristics, the combination is unbeatable.

    Today, the potential scenarios a nation faces are less

    clear than ever. But whether the mission calls for armed

    patrol, close-in ground support, special team transport,

    medical evacuation, surveillance and control, or VIP

    transport, the A109POWERs speed, payload and rapid

    role-change capabilities respond to any demands. And in

    the end, make the scenario much, much clearer for

    everyone except the enemy.

    The A109POWER is a 3 ton class helicopter combining

    safety attributes such as excellent single engine

    performance with technically superior characteristics

    such as a cruise speed of 154 knots (285 km/h).
