Eurocopter Dauphin 2 & Panther

The Dauphin 2, as the name suggests, is a development of the original SA 360 Dauphin. The SA 360 was a single engined helicopter but the new SA 365C Dauphin 2 introduced twin Arriel turboshafts and was a much improved helicopter. Soon superseded by the more powerful SA 365N only a few C models entered military service. The SA 365N has been quite successful and forms the basis for the military SA 565 Panther. The Panther can perform armed or unarmed battlefield transport roles and also is available in a maritime version with optional ASW gear and ASM capability.
