It's got one of those sensors that all the choppers have. I've wondered what they are. They look most like something to help the crew get some disco going.
That would be an IR jammer.Originally Posted by tigisfat

The "thing" on top is merely an IR strobe. It's fairly standard stuff.

While I'm not an expert on these unmanned drones, most helicopters in the US inventory are fitted with AN/ALQ-144 IR jammers (or something similar), right?
Is that just a tool that aids the situational awareness of others or something?
It's a strobe, as in light.
It just illuminates in the infrared spectrum.
It's a glorified light bulb! That's all.
