KRIEG QH-68 DASH
VTOL controls rotor pitch. Trim controls camera traverse. (1) toggles jet thrust for extra speed. (2) discharges missiles. The QH-68 DASH is a Paternian unmanned helicopter designed by KRIEG for observation and like strike. Known as the Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter, it originally designed for anti-submarine warfare, as a long-range weapon capable of detecting and engaging submarine targets. With integrated MAD and dipping sonar and armed with a pair of torpedoes, it can hunt and kill submarines. In this role, it was highly successful; despite many instances where the Paternian Navy encountered an active submarine threat, no vessel under the protection of DASH were successfully engaged by submarines. The drone was also employed as artillery spotters and reconnaissance by the ships which carried them. The Paternian Marine Corps employ them in a similar capacity. This particular aircraft carries a pair of Mk 90 Lightweight Anti-Ship Missiles.
