SH-2G Super Seasprite History:
The SH-2G Super Sea, manufactured by Kaman Aerospace, was the US Navy's front-line intermediate weight helicopter. 16 SH-2G helicopters were operated in two US Navy squadrons namely the HSL-94 and HSL-84. The first flight of the SH-2G was in 1985 and it entered service with the U.S. Navy in 1993.
The SH-2G Super Sea Sprite can be equipped for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW), Anti-Surface Warfare (ASuW), over-the-horizon-targeting Airborne Mine Countermeasures (AMCM), surveillance, Search and Rescue (SAR) and covert operations.
The SH-2G Super Sea Sprite retired from service with the U.S. Navy Air Reserve in May 2001 but presently remains in involved service with the Egyptian Navy, the Polish Navy, the Royal Australian Navy, and the Royal New Zealand Navy.
It can take up three crewmen including the pilot and a Sensor Operator. It can also be taken up by a single pilot and a Sensor Operator. This is because of its Integrated Avionics System software. The ITAS was designed by Kaman and Northrop Grumman Guidance and Controls. It can also be equipped with a Raytheon AGM-65 Maverick infrared imaging, Mk 46, Mk 50 torpedoes and hellfire missiles.
In October 2003 the service of the SH-2G(A) received a provisional acceptance and in May 2006, the helicopters were grounded because of the problems that were experienced. The problems include its Integrated Tactical Avionics System software and its flight control system. The testing of the ITAS software was completed in June 2006 and the final flight check is in progress. Even so the RAN took into consideration the termination of the program.
