It may include some avionics upgrades, but it does not result in a "glass cockpit", from what I have read. That is a pretty major upgrade in and of itself. Brooks |

A fully integrated, night vision goggle (NVG) compatible “glass” cockpit, maximizes situational awareness, by easily delivering critical navigation, threat, communications, and aircraft system data to the crew. http://bellhelicopter.com/en/aircraf.../bellUH-1Y.cfm Graham |

Nice try. That ain't the Huey II it is talking about, however--it is the UH-1Y, a different USMC program to update their own UH-1's. Huey II is a bit less ambitious program; new engine, new transmission and rotor, and possibly some limited avionics upgrades (depends on which source you are reading).
