The Comanche carries its weapons internally and has a weapons bay on each side of the fuselage. The missiles are mounted on the weapon bay doors, which open sideways. The internal weapon bay can be fitted with Stinger, Starstreak or Mistral air-to-air missiles; TOW II, Hot II or Longbow Hellfire air-to-ground missiles; Sura D 81mm, Snora 81mm, Hydra 70 rockets; or the army counter air weapon system. The number of missiles on each door mounting varies: for example, each door will hold three Hellfire or six Stinger missiles. The helicopter can be reconfigured with optional stub wings fitted with multiple weapon pylons, which carry an additional four Hellfire or eight Stinger missiles. The Comanche is equipped with a turreted gun system from General Dynamics Armament Systems. The stowable, externally powered, three-barrel, 20mm Gatling gun is capable of firing 750 or 1,500 rounds per minute. RAH-66 Comanche (Wallpaper 4).

The gun is mounted on a Giat composite turret (weighing 127kg) under the nose of the helicopter. The 500-round ammunition supply system can be reloaded in less than eight minutes by two crew members. The Comanche is equipped with a suite of passive sensors and a computer-aided Northrop Grumman mission planning system, which carries out sensor data fusion, high-speed analysis and correlation of the sensor data. Northrop Grumman TASS (Target Acquisition System Software) functions include automatic target tracking and target threat management. The analysed data is presented to the crew in the cockpit displays or transmitted to other elements of the force, providing direct relay of near real-time intelligence. Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control has developed the EOSS (Electro-Optics Sensor System) which comprises: EOTADS target acquisition and designation system, including solid-state TV sensor, two-colour laser rangefinder/designator and second-generation focal plane array long-wave FLIR (forward-looking infrared); and NVPS Night Vision Pilotage System with a second FLIR. The first complete EOSS system was delivered in June 2003. RAH-66 Comanche (Wallpaper 4). Photo wallpaper gallery of RAH-66 Comanche Reconnaissance / Attack helicopter 4.
