Royal Navy Wildcat Helicopter
A Wildcat helicopter HMA Mk2 of 700(W) Naval Air Squadron conducting flying trials near HMS Monmouth off the South coast of the UK.
Wildcat is the latest generation of multi role helicopter specifically procured to operate from the Frigates and Destroyers of the Royal Navy.
Wildcat takes the very best features of the existing Fleet Air Arm Lynx and gives it extra punch.
The Lynx Wildcat (rather than just plain Wildcat to avoid confusion with the legendary WW2 Naval fighter) might look like its predecessor and possess many of its outstanding characteristics, but it will be leaps ahead in so many ways.
The engines are considerably more powerful providing much improved performance when operating in hot environments and at high altitudes
The British Army protects the United Kingdom's interests at home and abroad, providing a safe and secure environment in which all British citizens can live and prosper

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, a Royal Navy Wildcat Helicopter, specifically HMA Mk2 of 700(W) Naval Air Squadron, undergoes flying trials off the South coast of the United Kingdom, in close proximity to HMS Monmouth. The Wildcat, the latest generation of multi-role helicopter, is designed to operate from the Frigates and Destroyers of the Royal Navy, marking a significant advancement in naval aviation capabilities. The Wildcat, an evolution of the iconic Fleet Air Arm Lynx, retains the outstanding characteristics of its esteemed predecessor while incorporating advanced features that set it apart. The Lynx Wildcat, as it's officially known, boasts powerful new engines that deliver superior performance in hot environments and at high altitudes. This enhancement is crucial for the Royal Navy, as its operations often take place in diverse and challenging conditions. The Wildcat's advanced capabilities extend beyond its engine upgrades. It is equipped with a state-of-the-art glass cockpit, advanced avionics, and a sophisticated weapon system, making it a formidable force in maritime security and defense. The helicopter's versatility is further emphasized by its ability to perform various roles, including anti-submarine warfare, search and rescue, and vertical replenishment. The Lynx Wildcat represents a worthy successor to the legendary Lynx, embodying the spirit of innovation and excellence that has long defined the Royal Navy's aviation branch. As this Wildcat helicopter undergoes rigorous testing, it prepares to join the fleet and contribute to the protection of the United Kingdom's maritime interests.
