The suppressor: Bell 205, autonomous or pilot-assisted

• Bell 205 / UH-1H: proven, plentiful, 1,800 shp, 300–400 gal bucket
• Retrofit: clutched actuators on cyclic, collective, pedals and throttle — the aircraft stays a normal 205 when the clutches are open
• Fully autonomous: nobody aboard, flown by the station over the data link
• Pilot-assisted: a pilot aboard, autopilot follows the station's plan, pilot can take control at any time
• Dedicated cockpit display: current action, next steps, other aircraft, obstacles
• Flies the drop line computed by the AI: wind, slope and ballistics accounted for
