헬리콥터 독일, CH-47F 60기 FMS 판매 통과

[위종민]

독일이 CH-47F 60기와 각종 부대장비를 85억달러에 도입하는 내용의 FMS가 통과됐네요. 

이전 한국이 허가받은 FMS에 비하면 부대장비가 꽤 풍부합니다. 밑줄 친 부품이 한국도 주문한 부대장비인데, 일단 한국형엔 NVG와 IDM이 없네요.

러우전보면 개인적으로 CH-47F 도입이 너무 리스크가 크게 보이네요. 차라리 그 예산으로 드론하고 방공망에 돌리는 것이 좋겠습니다만..

전훈을 반영해선지 타이거 공격헬기를 버리고 무장헬기로 대체한다고 하긴 합니다. 대형수송헬기는 전시 외에도 평시에도 쓸 데가 많긴 하고요.

레이져경보기는 생각이 없는거 같고, ECCM도 생각이 없고, DAFCS는 왜 안넣었는지 모르겠고, 모드5 키로더는 있는거 쓸거고(개조를 했으면), NVG는 기존꺼 유용, IDM은 기동헬기사양이라 안 넣은거 같고, IRSS나 EAPS는 있으면 좋을텐데, COOLS 롤러는 왜 안넣었는지 의문이네요. HICHS보다 편하고 좋은데...APS라고 캐빈바닥 방탄판을 갖고 있는데 이걸 계속 쓸거면 BPS랑 COOLS를 안 넣은게 답이 됩니다.
ERFS랑 FARE는 기존에 갖고 있고 잘 쓰는거라 같이 쓰면 되는 장비고, FLIR는 국산품 쓸려고 하는건지, 그 뒤에 있는 미션장비들(충격대비 시트, 리터스트랩 등등)은 기존 D에서 유용하면 됩니다.
로터 브레이크는 없는 사양으로 계속 써와서 넣을 생각을 안 한거 같고, 레스큐 호이스트는 기동헬기에는 잘 안 넣드라고요.

독일은 치누크 계열기를 운영해본 적이 없으니 이것저것 다 사야되고, 우리는 D형에서 떼다가 쓸 수 있는 건 쓸 수 있으니 저랬을 수도 있겠네요. ㅎㅎ
