HELRAS was first developed in the 1970s by Bendix, FIAR and British Aerospace.[1] Another rival system was called FLASH (Folding Light Acoustic System for Helicopters). In the 1980s, the system was supplied by Bendix.[2]
The system has been fitted to EH101, S70B, NH90, CH-148, AS532SC, AB412, and AS565 with helicopter of navies such as Italy, Turkey, Greece, Netherlands, Canada, Singapore, Thailand, Chile, Brazil, Indonesia, and Morocco. The system has also been fitted to unmanned surface vessels Seagull and RHIBs for Israel and USN.
