What are the effects of helicopters on modern warfare tactics?
One of the most dynamic and revolutionary developments in military technology is the modern military helicopter. While military planners continue to debate its specific roles in combat, the armed helicopter has undeniably changed the way commanders employ their assets in the field. My goal in this research project is to assess the effectiveness of not just armed helicopters, but also military helicopters in general, including the important roles of resupply and casualty evacuation, with a focus on the survivability and effectiveness of helicopters on the battlefield.
