MIT Physics Lecture Series:d Technology Through the Eyes of a Combat Reconnaissance Pilot
Captain William Koch
Tue Jan 24, 01:30-02:30pm, 6-120
No enrollment limit, no advance sign up
Single session event
I am a Captain in the US Army and am currently enrolled in the graduate Physics program, preparing to return to the United States Military Academy to teach core physics to the cadets. From June 2004 through this past summer, I flew the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior Scout/Reconnaissance helicopter through two unit train-ups and two deployments to Operation Iraqi Freedom, spending almost two and a half years in the combat environment. This seminar will be a discussion of the current fielded technology of U.S. Army Scout/Cavalry Aviation, including a discussion of the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior reconnaissance helicopter and a light overview of other Army Aviation assets. This seminar will offer a personal view of current advantages and limitations as a result of the technology installed on U.S. Army helicopters.
