The Kiowa is a two seat, single engine, four-bladed main rotor, scout helicopter with a low light television, thermal imaging system and a laser rangefinder/designator incorporated into a mast mounted sight. The mechanic and the helicopters are from the 3rd Battalion of the 4th Aviation Brigade Cavalry Unit, Schweifurt, Germany.
