The Denel Aviation Rooivalk is a South African two-seat missile armed attack helicopter, in service since 1999. The Rooivalk carries a comprehensive range of weaponry selected for the mission requirement, ranging from anti-armour and anti-helicopter missions to ground suppression and ferry missions. The aircraft can engage multiple targets at short and long range, utilising the nose-mounted cannon and a range of under-wing-mounted munitions. Target detection, acquisition and tracking are carried out using the nose mounted stabilised sight, TDATS. The TDATS sight is equipped with a low level television sensor, Forward Looking Infrared sensor (FLIR), autotracker, laser rangefinder and laser designator. A helmet mounted sight display (HMSD) provides the crew with a head-up display of information for nap-of-the-earth flight (NOE). The HMSD incorporates an integrated measurement system for directing an articulated weapon such as the cannon, or air-to-air missile seeker heads. The Rooivalk is armed with an articulated 20 mm F2
cannon chin mounted on the helicopter and is equipped to fire 70 mm Folding Fin Aerial Rockets (FFAR).
Rooivalk can also fire Mokopa, Hellfire and HOT 3 anti-tank missiles and can carry four air-to-air missiles such as the V3C Darter or the Mistral.
