Privately designed by Lockheed-CBM as a cheaper and more easily produced substitute for [[BattleMech#Light|light]] [[BattleMech]]s in the notoriously top-heavy and sluggish [[Lyran Commonwealth Armed Forces]]' [[Third Succession War]]–era [[BattleMech]] [[regiment]]s, the Lyran High Command originally dismissed the Warrior as a worthless "flying toy" in [[2957]] until the [[Hesperus II#Ninth battle|Ninth Battle of Hesperus]] that same year damaged [[Defiance Industries]]' facilities to the point the LCAF were desperate for ''any'' military hardware, placing heavy orders and ensuring continued production since. The aircraft itself is a standard rotary wing design. The two counter-rotating rotor systems negate the need for a tail rotor, as there is no drive torque to be canceled. Capable of speeds of 162 km/h, the Warrior can range across the battlefield with ease, its ability to serve as a recon unit enhanced by its ability to drop 250 kilograms of remote sensors. Many Warriors are assigned to garrison units and airmobile infantry regiments to provide quick response fire support, where tactically the VTOL is best used to engage its target at long range without being tied to the defense of a specific location. The life of the Warrior's relatively fragile frame can be measured in seconds if drawn into close range combat with [[Combat Vehicle|armor]] or 'Mechs. ==Weapons and Equipment== The Warrior is designed around a center line-mounted [[SarLon]] [[Autocannon/2]]. While not as powerful as some [[autocannon]]s, the extremely long range of the weapon allows the Warrior to engage targets from outside of the effective range of most opponents, slowly wearing down their armor. To provide close-in protection against targets that cannot be effectively engaged within the minimum range of the SarLon, the Warrior mounts a [[TharHes]] [[SRM-4]] rack. Both are mated to an N&D Handsfree targeting and tracking system linked to the pilot's helmet, allowing the pilot to merely look at what he wants to target and pull the trigger. One ton of reloads each give the helicopter decent endurance in combat. ==Variants== *;H-7A : The 7A variant drops the missile launcher for a [[machine gun]] with half a ton of ammunition, freeing up enough space to upgrade the autocannon to a [[SarLon MaxiCannon]] [[Autocannon/5]].

BV (1.0) = 634<ref name=RS3058Up72 /> BV (2.0) = 484<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 15</ref> *; H-10 : An even more radical variation of the H-8, the H-10 was redesigned as a [[battle armor]] transport, trading all weaponry for two [[Heavy Machine Gun]]s while freeing up the space required for a five-ton [[infantry bay]]. BV (1.0) = 80;<ref name=RS3058Up73 /> BV (2.0) = 180<ref>''Record Sheets: 3058 Unabridged (Inner Sphere)'', p. 16</ref> *;S-9 : Based on the experimental HX-9, this Warrior variant is produced by [[Tengo Aerospace]] for the CCAF. Using an XL fusion engine, Stealth Armor, and a VTOL Jet Booster, the VTOL is able to reach speeds of 216 km/h. The stealth armor makes it very difficult to target, and when not using for the armor the included Guardian ECM suite can interfere with enemy electronics. To increase the damage potential over the HX-9, the S-9 uses an [[Extended LRM-10]] with a ton of ammunition. This weapon can reach out and hit enemy forces before they can answer, allowing the S-9 to harass enemy forces. BV (2.0) = 668<ref name=TRO:Proto>''Technical Readout: Prototypes'', p. 29</ref> ===Custom Variants=== *;HX-9 : An [[Experimental Technology|experimental]] variant developed by the [[Capellan Confederation]] around [[3073]], the HX-9 is powered by an [[extralight fusion engine]] and equipped with nearly all the new technologies available to the [[CCAF]] in this era. It is armed with a prototype [[Hyper-Velocity Autocannon/2]] and protected with Vehicular [[Stealth Armor]], [[Guardian ECM Suite]] and [[CASE]]. A [[VTOL Jet Booster]] allows this craft to reach incredible speeds in short bursts, long enough to escape anything that threatens it. BV (2.0) = 392<ref>''Experimental Technical Readout: Mercs'', p. 8</ref> ===Apocryphal=== *;H-7B : This field modification variant was first seen in [[Federated Suns]] territories around May 3015. It has become very popular among Mercenary forces and planetary defenders alike, in all areas of the [[Inner Sphere]]. Designed for maximum firepower and ease of use by inexperienced pilots, this variant replaces the traditional low-caliber [[Autocannon/2]] with a medium-class [[laser]] of various manufacture, along with the equipment required for operation. The single [[TharHes]] [[SRM-4]] rack is replaced by two wing-pylon mounted [[SRM-2]] launchers, allowing for lower operating costs when faced with repairs due to return fire. An added benefit is the ability to fire upon an additional target, useful for anti-personnel operations. Swapping these weapons allows for a constant range profile and changes the role of the Warrior from that of a long-range sniper to a close-in air support.
