lamps

The Light Airborne Multi-Purpose System (LAMPS) is the United States Navy's program that develops crewed helicopters to assist the surface fleet in anti-submarine warfare.
The purpose of LAMPS is to scout outside the limits of a fleet's radar and sonar range to detect and track enemy submarines or missile-equipped escort ships and feed the real-time data back to their LAMPS mothership. They also have the capability to directly engage enemy targets with depth charges or torpedoes, or indirectly engage the enemy by coordinating fleet assets on site.
A Mk II version was planned, but was canceled in favor of the more advanced Mk III. LAMPS III added the capabilities to use anti-ship missile systems (like the AGM-119 Penguin anti-ship missile) and night vision capability.

    Daylight Running Lamps stay on

    Hi All, I've had a great time with my MY23 MG4 Luxury so far. But today it suddenly leaves Daylight Running Lamps on when closing the doors. I fear that they may drain the 12V battery? This has never happened since I got the car three months ago. Is there any way to shut down those Daylights?
