Future Helicopters: Evolving Roles, Capabilities and Technologies by Dr James Bosbotinis

Defence expert and frequent Defence IQ contributor Dr James Bosbotinis shares his views on the latest developments in military rotorcraft. With the prospect of facing close peers becoming a greater possibility, rotorcraft technology and use have to adapt to the new realities of operating in a highly contested environment. While the more bombastic elements of the media have quickly pointed to rotorcraft performance in Ukraine as evidence that they are confined to secondary roles, Dr Bosbotinis delivers a more nuanced view, advocating that systems and helicopter usage should be updated to reflect the new realities of the battlefield.
