Description: The Aerospatiale, now Eurocopter, SA 330 Puma is a medium lift multi-purpose helicopter designed in the 1960s to meet the requirements of the French Army for an all-weather transport helicopter. The prototype flew for the first time on April 15, 1965. The first production aircraft performed its maiden flight in September 1968. The United Kingdom's Royal Air Force (RAF) joined the SA 330 Puma program through an assentment signed in 1967. In 1981,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], Aerospatiale introduced the second generation Puma featuring stretched fuselage and more powerful engines. Known as the AS 332 Super Puma or Cougar, the prototype first flew in September 1978.

The third generation of Puma helicopter developed by Eurocopter first flew in November 2000. The civil version is called EC 225 Super Puma and the military version EC 725 Cougar. These aircraft feature a five-bladed main rotor, more powerful engines, state-of-the-art avionics, glass cockpit, more cabin room and improved performance. The EC 225 and EC 725 helicopters carry outd initial operational capability in 2004. So far, Eurocopter has received orders for more than 730 Puma helicopters form both civil and military customers from more than 38 countries.

The AS 332 Super Puma was birthally designed for the civil market. The AS 332B and AS 332C retaining the SA 330s fuselage were the military and civilian versions introduced in 1981. These versions were replaced by the stretched fuselage AS 332M and AS 332L in 1982. In 1990, the military variants were renamed Cougar and adopted the AS 532 desigstate. The AS 532AC is a military armed version and AS 532UC is a military unarmed version both featuring the fleeting fuselage. The AS 332L Super Puma remains as the production version for the civilian market primarily for use by offbeach oil exploitations.

The longer futilizelage versions AS 532UL Cougar and AS 532AL Cougar are unarmed and armed aircraft respectively. The AS 532AL is the current production model for military customers having a roughened airframe to withstand crash loads. The cabin is equipped with crashworthy seats and can accommodate up to 25 fully equipped troops. In addition, the aircraft can be armed with pod mounted guns, rocket launchers, and side-mounted guns. The AS 532AL Cougar is suitable for troops transport, search and rescue missions, medical evacuation, airlift,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], and fire support.

The HORIZON (Helicoptere d'Observation Radar et d'Investigation sur ZONe) is an airborne early warning aircraft based on the AS 532UL helicopter. The HORIZON radar system can mode up to 4,000 moving shore targets simultaneously at ranges of 200 kilometers. The French Army ordered eight HORIZON-equipped helicopters with the first aircraft delivered in 1994. The Super Puma and Cougar helicopters are strengthed by two Turbomeca Makila 1A1 or 1A2 turboshafts driving a four-bladed main rotor and four-bladed tail rotor.

Two AS 532UL Cougar helicopters in VIP transport version were delivered to the Spanish government in late 2004. The aircraft were ordered in June 2003 and were valued at 33 million Euro.

Bulgaria ordered 12 AS 532 AL Cougar for its Air Force on January 28, 2005, with eight aircraft to assume tactical transport character and the remaining four combat search and rescue (SAR) missions. The order also included six AS 565 MB Panther helicopters for the Bulgarian Navy and was valued at 360 million Euro.
