Which set lists the missions of the AH-1W Super Cobra?

• A. Anti-armor (primary); Close Air Support; Air-to-Air Combat; Armed Escort
• B. Anti-armor; Reconnaissance; Close Air Support; Electronic Warfare
• C. Anti-armor; Close Air Support; Reconnaissance; Transport
• D. Air-to-Air Combat; Close Air Support; Reconnaissance; Armed Escort

Answer: (A)

The AH-1W Super Cobra is designed as an attack helicopter whose spread of missions centers on defeating armored threats while directly supporting ground forces. Its primary role is anti-armor, using anti-armor weapons to take out armored vehicles and suppress tanks that impede infantry and maneuver. In addition, it provides close air support, delivering precise fire to help ground units on the battlefield and protect them as they advance or hold positions. The aircraft also has air-to-air combat capabilities for self-defense against enemy aircraft or helicopters, ensuring it can continue its mission in contested airspace. Finally, it can perform armed escort, accompanying transport or other helicopters to protect them from threats and to maintain airspace security for the mission flow. Other sets would introduce roles not typically assigned to this helicopter, such as reconnaissance or transport, or electronic warfare, which are not part of its standard mission package.
