In 2011, NorthStar ordered a total of 56 Bell 407GX helicopters from Bell Helicopter, a subsidiary of Textron, for conversion into MRH version. NorthStar took delivery of the 48th Bell 407GX at Dubai Air Show in November 2015. The unit cost of the NSA 407MRH is estimated to be $9m. The UAE Armed Forces ordered 30 retrofitted MRH helicopters, to be delivered through 2016.

NorthStar signed an agreement with Control and Applications Emirates (CAE) to develop a training solution for the multi-role helicopter variant in February 2015.

NSA 407MRH design and features

The NSA 407MRH features lightweight, high-performance design and is equipped with all-composite, four-blade main rotor, two-blade teetering tail rotor, low skid-type landing gear, carbon fibre driveshaft cover, jettisonable outboard weapon pylon, and carbon fibre doors.

Custom Lightweight Carbon Fiber Drive Shaft Cover

The Southeast Aerospace custom lightweight carbon fiber drive shaft cover design has taken the Bell 407 airframe to meet the needs of the most demanding missions – usanstar.com

Carbon Fiber Removable Doors

Carbon fiber is known for its high strength to weight ratio, corrosion resistance, fatigue resistance, fire resistance, low thermal expansion, rigidity and durability – usanstar.com

The fuselage has a length of 10.17m, width of 1.5m and a height of 2.68m. The main and tail rotor diameters are 10.67m and 1.65m respectively. The maximum gross weight with external load is 2,722kg and 2,268kg with internal load.

The rotorcraft is operated by a single pilot and its spacious cabin can be configured to meet different mission needs.

Garmin G1000H integrated flight deck

Advanced Technology for Enhanced Safety

• The latest in glass cockpit capability for light helicopters
• Helicopter Synthetic Vision Technology (HSVT™)
• Helicopter Terrain Awareness Warning System (HTAWS)
• Video input for FLIR or other camera display
• Global connectivity options

Look to the Future with HSVT

HSVT adds increased situational awareness in your rotorcraft cockpit. Using sophisticated graphics modeling, the system recreates a “virtual reality” landscape on your large 10″, 12″ or 15″ primary flight display. This enables you to clearly visualize terrain features, waterways, airport locations, runway depiction and obstacles — even in nighttime conditions.

Avoid Obstacles with HTAWS

An optional HTAWS has been engineered specifically to keep rotorcraft safely separated from hazardous terrain and minimize the chance of CFIT (Controlled Flight into Terrain). The system predicts in advance where potential hazards may lie and alerts you as you near them. A 5-color Terrain Proximity display lets your visualize how close you are to a potential threat while voice callouts audibly announce the helicopter’s height above terrain when descending below 500 feet. For low-level operations, the system even has a Reduced Protection (RP) mode that minimizes alerting while continuing to provide protection.

Satellite Weather and Communication

Keep a watchful eye on weather in the U.S. and Canada with built-in support for our GDL™ 69 satellite datalink, which gives you NEXRAD radar imagery, METARS, TAFS, TFRs, lightning, winds and more through a XM WX Satellite Weather subscription. The GDL 69 can also provide SiriusXM Satellite Radio in the cockpit with a subscription.

When you add a GSR™ 56, you gain global weather capabilities through the Iridium satellite network. It can also support voice, text messaging and flight tracking/position reporting virtually anywhere in the world when coupled with the right subscriptions.

Fly Advanced Avionics

At the core of G1000H, potentially high-maintenance gyro instruments have been replaced with our proven Attitude and Heading Reference System. AHRS takes inputs from GPS, magnetometer and air data computers to achieve unprecedented levels of accuracy. G1000H provides support for Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS) technology, which offers high-precision GPS guidance. Source garmin.com

M134 7.62mm mini gun

The M134D-H Hybrid Gatling Gun is the standard lightweight Minigun design from Dillon Aero. The Hybrid Gatling Gun combines the titanium and skeletonized parts that were originally engineered for use in the M134D-T titanium Gatling Gun with the steel housing of the M134D steel Gatling Gun. The Hybrid gun was designed to offer the weight savings of the titanium gun and the longer service life of the steel gun. The Hybrid system is only two pounds heavier than the original titanium gun, is between 10-20 pounds lighter than the steel system, and has a service life of 1,500,000. The M134D-H is in widespread use in both Crew Served and Fixed Forward applications.

GAU-19 0.50 calibre machine gun

usanstar.com

GECAL-50 / GAU-19/A heavy machine gun is an externally powered weapon of Gatling type. It uses built-in electrical motor to rotate barrel cluster (which has three barrels) and operate feeder-delinker unit. Bolts are cycled through cam-shaped path inside the gun housing, continuously feeding, firing and ejecting spent cases from barrels as they rotate. Gun is fed using standard M9 disintegrating belts, same as used in Browning M2HB heavy machine gun. Since the belt links have closed loops, each cartridge is pulled out of the links by the feeder-delinker unit before presenting it to the gun for loading. Rate of fire is controlled by electronic circuit, and can be adjusted up to 2000 rounds per minute, although GAU-19/B is limited to 1300 rounds per minute due to lighter barrels. GAU-19/A machine guns can be mounted in aircraft gun pods and flexible or fixed aircraft mounts. Surface use includes ring-type mounts installed on the roof of the HMMWV vehicles and pedestal mounts used on naval ships and fast boats. Some types of mounts include integral ammunition containers (with typical capacity between 500 and 1500 rounds) and dedicated battery to operate the gun. Firing controls normally include dual spade grips, attached to the gun cradle, with electric triggers and safety switches.
