The Gyrodyne DASH (Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter) was a drone helicopter part of the US Navy Fleet Rehabilitation and Modernization (FRAM) program. Instead of building new frigates, the FRAM upgrade allowed World War II-era destroyers, which had little room for a new flight deck, to remain useful in modern naval warfare adding to them a stand-off weapon to attack out to the edge of the sonars range. the QH-50 was retired by the US Navy frontline ships in 1969 |

Die Gyrodyne DASH (Drone Anti-Submarine Helicopter) war eine Hubschrauber-Drohne und ein Teil der US Navy Flotten Erhaltung und Modernisierungs-Programm (FRAM). Anstatt den Bau neuer Fregatten erlaubte das FRAM-Programm alte Weltkrieg-Zerstörer, die wenig Raum für ein neues Flugdeck hatten, mit einer modernen Stand-Off-Waffe am Rande der Sonarreichweite auszurüsten. Die QH-50 wurde von der US Navy vorderster Front bis 1969 verwendet. |

Einsatzgeschichte |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
DASH's control scheme had two controllers, one on the flight deck, and another in the combat information center. The flight-deck controller would handle take-off and landing. The controller in the Combat Information Center (CIC) would fly DASH to the target's location and release weapons using semiautomated controls and radar. The DASH program was canceled in 1969. |

Die Kontrolle der DASH erfolgte durch zwei Controller, einer auf dem Flugdeck, und ein anderer im Combat Information Center. Der Flug-Deck-Controller machte den Start und Landung. Der Controller im Combat Information Center (CIC) flog den DASH zum Ziel und löste die Waffen in halbautomatischer Steuerung aus. Das DASH-Programm wurde 1969 abgebrochen. |
