About the AW149
The AgustaWestland AW149 is an Italian rotorcraft functioning as a medium-lift multi-role military helicopter. Designed primarily to suit battlefield transport, combat support, and utility missions, it features a spacious cabin capable of carrying multiple troops and bulky equipment, powered by twin turboshaft engines.
Development began in the early 2000s as a dedicated military platform emphasizing battlefield survivability, low vibration, and operational flexibility in austere environments. The type eventually spawned a civilian variant and secured military export orders as well as domestic production commitments in several countries.
