The H145Ms of the Hungarian fleet are equipped with a fast roping system, high-performance camera, dual cargo hook, hoist, disaster management kit, ballistic protection as well as an electronic countermeasures system to support the most demanding operational requirements. The MD 530G scout attack helicopter is powered by a Rolls-Royce 250-C30 engine, which generates a power output of 485kW. The first two of twenty H145M military helicopters have been delivered to the Hungarian Defence Forces. The Westland Scout was a general purpose military light helicopter developed by Westland Helicopters. The MD 530G scout attack helicopter delivers maximum utility for armed aerial mission support. Airbus X3 technology demonstrator is another oddball chopper that cannot seem to figure out whether it wants to be a helicopter or a plane. Bell has unveiled its proposed single-rotor design for the U.S. Army's Future Attack Reconnaissance Aircraft (FARA), a cutting-edge helicopter that may be optionally manned. Bell Helicopter would eventually find success after all this work in selling the U.S. Army on its Model 209 which entered service as the AH-1 "HueyCobra" attack helicopter - keeping the important traits established by the Model 207 all those years ago: tandem-seat cockpit, skid undercarriage, twin-bladed main and tail rotors, side-mounted wingstubs, and a powered chin turret.

The Army seems to have backed off the requirement that a scout aircraft be stealthy, which was a major reason why costs escalated enough to kill the RAH-66 Comanche scout helicopter in 2004. The helicopter can fly at a maximum cruise speed of 240km/h at sea level under international standard atmospheric conditions. Its military version, the Sikorsky ‘S-97 Raider’, is stated to be the future light tactical scout helicopter of the US Military. Both the Scout and the Wasp were developed from the Saunders-Roe P.531, itself a development of the Saunders-Roe Skeeter. It has a maximum permitted speed of 282km/h at sea level and can fly to a range of 426km. It was closely related to the Westland Wasp naval helicopter.
