The MH-60 series helicopter represents a highly modified version of the standard U.S. Army Black Hawk. They are flown exclusively by the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (SOAR). The primary mission of the MH-60 Black Hawk helicopters is to provide medium and utility support to special operations forces such as the Navy Seals, Delta Force and 75th Army Rangers across a wide range of environmental conditions. These aircraft feature several modifications including: Forward-looking Infra-Red (FLIR) technology that allows low-level, all-weather day or night flying; a variety of offensive weapons systems, including 2 window-mounted M134 mini-guns; advanced GPS/inertial navigation equipment, and other mission specific systems |
