Sikorsky Chooses Thommen Searchlight for S-92

Revue Thommen’s HSL 1600 searchlight has been selected by Sikorsky for outfitting on S-92 helicopters configured for search-and-rescue (SAR) missions. The HSL 1600 features an integrated IR-filter and laser pointer and a detection range exceeding 1,600 meters.

The HSL 1600 searchlight is equipped with an internal infrared filter and laser pointer. The Revue Thommen (Booth No. 1802) searchlight can be slaved to onboard forward-looking infrared system (FLIR) camera systems and helmet sight systems and has built-in integration circuitry, eliminating the need for remote junction boxes or intermediate cabling.

Pilots can operate the HSL 16000 using up to two independent hand controls or from a helicopter’s cyclic or collective grips. The light can also be connected to any digital map or tracking system via a built-ininterface.
