TM 197B
HELIBORNE LIGHT TURRETED GUN SYSTEM

The TM 197B Light Turreted Gun System is designed


for integration under the nose of combat and multirole helicopters and features the General Dynamics
M197 20mm Gatling gun.
The TM 197B turret provides the helicopter with a
weapon system suitable for air-to-ground and close
range air-to-air combat missions, taking advantage
of the performance of a 20mm gun with reduced
weight and low profile, thus allowing a safe standoff flight.
The TM 197B can be easily fitted into military
helicopters, not originally designed for the combat
role.

The turret motion, in azimuth and elevation, is


controlled by the pilot or the co-pilot/gunner by
means of a Helmet and Display Sight System (which
sense the position and the motion of the head of
the two crew members) and/or by the Main Sight
Unit of the Combat System of the helicopter.
Operation is possible at helicopter speeds up to
140 knots and the firing position is maintained
under all critical flight and maneuver conditions.
The TM 197B turret provides flexible and fixed modes
of fire. In case of aircraft or turret power failure the
weapon returns to the fixed forward firing position
and is automatically locked.
