反舰:攻防兼备舰载直升机也是攻击水面舰艇的有力武器。在反舰作战中,它除了可携带反舰导弹攻击敌舰艇外,还能担负对己方舰艇反射的远程反舰导弹进行中继制导,以攻击超视距的敌舰艇。此外,还可防卫己方载舰免受敌反舰导弹的攻击等任务。舰载直升机的反舰作战速度比水面舰艇航速快,机动性好,在攻击和防御方面均能占主动地位。它可在水面舰艇探测仪的作用距离和武器射程之外进行超视距搜索,用空舰导弹或火箭对敌舰艇实施突然攻击。它既能为载舰发射导弹进行中继制导,延长水面舰艇的武器射程和提高攻击的精度,也能为载舰提供预警或进行电子干扰,以保护舰艇编队不受敌舰的攻击。如在舰载直升机上安装前视红外系统,其探测和识别目标的距离,比夜视仪或低照度电视要远得多,可增大夜间反舰能力。 Anti-ship: both offensive and defensive shipboard helicopters are also a powerful weapon to attack surface ships. In anti-ship operations, in addition to carrying anti-ship missiles to attack enemy ships, it also can relay guided anti-ship missiles that reflect on one’s own ships to attack enemy ships of over-the-horizon distances. In addition, it can also defend its own carrier from enemy anti-ship missiles and other missions. The anti-ship combat speed of carrier-based helicopters is faster than surface ships and their mobility is good. They can take the initiative in attack and defense. It enables over-the-horizon search beyond the range and range of weapons on surface ships and uses an air ship missile or a rocket to launch an abrupt attack on an enemy ship. It not only can relay guidance for the carrier-launched missiles, prolong the weapon range of the surface ships and improve the precision of the attack, but can also provide pre-warning or electronic interference to the carrier in order to protect the formation of ships from being attacked by the enemy ships. Such as the installation of forward-looking infrared system onboard helicopters, the detection and identification of the target distance, far more than night vision or low-light TV, can increase night-time anti-ship capability.
