This helicopter was developed by Agusta as a derivative of the Bell Huey for the anti-submarine role, fitting it with the AN/ASQ-13 dipping sonar and special all-weather avionics, and making it capable to carry Mk.46 torpedoes or depth charges. The AB204ASW is a further special version developed in 1968 by adding to the basic AB204AS an Ecko ARI-5955 anti-surface vessel radar and enabling it to operate Aerospatiale AS.12 or Sistel Marte missiles. These helicopters were delivered to the Italian, Spanish and Turkish navies. While the Italian airframes led to the design of the better-known AB212ASW but were lately transferred to the Fire Brigades air corps, in Spain and in Turkey they are still used for transport and training roles.
