beskrivelse:

A U.S. Army Bell UH-1D Huey used for tests with a 40 mm grenade launcher ("MICAW-40") on 20 April 1965.

Official description: "January to March 63: During this quarter, the U.S. Army Materiel Command (AMC) Aircraft Weaponization Project Office provided the U.S. Army Missile Command (MICOM) with funds for an in-house research and development project on a rocket weapon system for Army helicopters. Although the 40-mm rocket system (the MICOM-40) concept was not selected by the Aircraft Weaponization PM for advanced development, in May 64 the Ground Support Equipment Laboratory was instructed to plan user demonstrations with the system, which had been renamed the Missile Command Automatic Weapon (MICAW)."
