The EC645 T2 is the latest 4-ton class twin-engine military helicopter inEurocopter’s product range, providing a multitude of deployment possibilitiesthat result from its power, range, endurance and payload capability.

Equipped with two powerful Turbomeca Arriel 2E engines – each controlledby a dual-channel full authority digital engine control (FADEC) – the EC645 T2retains excellent performance throughout the flight envelope, particularlywhen operating at altitudes of 6,000 ft and in 95 deg. F environments,commonly known as “6K/95 high and hot” conditions.

The outstanding balance between theEC645 T2’s weight and engine power,together with the capabilities of adoor-mounted gun, providesprotection during the extraction andinsertion of troops in threat conditionsand during Nap-of-the-Earth (NOE)flight profiles.

The door gunners’ positions with two7.62 mm machine guns provide arcsof almost 360° for suppressive fire.Alternatively one 12.7 mm sniper riflecan be fitted.

Special OperationsThanks to its multi-role capability,combined with its outstanding fast,agile and stealthy flight capabilities,the EC645 T2 is the ideal aircraft forspecial operations. These operationsinclude fast roping, rappelling anddirect air assault. The helicopter'ssmall footprint allows safe and easyaccess to confined areas.

The typical special operationsconfiguration accommodatesmachine guns and the internal cabin volume for a fully-equippedcombat team-ready to operate by day or night.
