Bell is now offering a bolt-on weapons kit for some of its civilian helicopters. They are starting with the single-engine, four-bladed 407, many of which are in military and government service worldwide. The company sees a market opening in Eastern Europe, Africa, and elsewhere for an armed special-mission variant of the civil 407, which sports an aftermarket weapons mount system that carry everything from machine guns to guided rockets.
The kit sports four weapon mounting stations that can hold Hellfire missiles, M134D mini guns, DAP-6 gun pods, GAU-19/B machine guns, GP-19 gun pods, HMP250/400 gun pods and M260 or M261 rocket launchers.
