The highlight of the Japanese presence at the ongoing show is the large scale model of Japan’s latest military helicopter the UH-2 utility helicopter.

According to Japan’s Defence Equipment Agency, the UH-2 is able to handle rescue operations at higher altitudes than its predecessor, the UH-1J.

The UH-2 utility helicopter is produced by Subaru of Japan for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF). It recently delivered a new UH-2 to the JGSDF in June at its Aerospace Company Utsunomiya Plant, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan.

The New Utility Helicopter (UH-2) was developed leveraging the Subaru Bell 412EPX which is state-of-the-art civilian helicopter.

The same platform was remodelled for Japan’s Ministry of Defence specification.

Flight tests of the New Utility Helicopter began in  May 2022, following which it passed a series of company flight tests, and finally it got Japan Ministry of Defence’s approval for delivery.
