The H145M is a light twin-engine helicopter that is able to carry out a wide range of operations such as troop transport, utility, surveillance, air rescue, armed reconnaissance and medical evacuation.

With a maximum take-off weight of 3.7t, the aircraft feature a fast roping system, high-performance camera, fire support equipment, ballistic protection and an electronic countermeasures system.

The new Hungarian H145Ms feature the Helionix digital avionics suite, which includes a high-performance four-axis autopilot. This helps increase pilot safety and reduces workload.

The low acoustic feature of the Airbus H145M makes it the quietest helicopter in its class.
