SMASH Evaluation Team
SMASH = Southeast Asia Multi-Sensor Armament Subsystem for Huey Cobra
Early AH-1G Cobra Night Vision capabilities, the AH-1G was equipped with the CONFICS (Cobra Night Fire Control System) and the SMASH (Southeast Asia Multi-Sensor Armament Subsystem for Huey Cobra) systems to provide the Cobra with the capability of: detecting, identifying, and targeting ground targets during day or night operations.
  puckering from washing, RFU (was hand-sewn), Used.....inquire

partial History for the SMASH System Evaluation
(this information is from a web site)
The first three UH-1M Huey gunships were equipped with the Hughes INFANT (Iroquois Night Fighter and Night Tracker) system which used a low-light-level TV (LLLTV) and INFARED Searchlight to aim the M21 armament subsystem; these UH-1Ms were evaluated from December 1969 to February 1970 by the 227th Assault Helicopter Battalion of the 1st Cavalry Division (Airmobile). The INFANT equipped UH-1Ms was moderately successful when flown with two conventional gunships and a Command and Control Slick. The INFANT was used to find and mark the target for the other gunships, but it was felt the AC-130A Hercules was a more capable aircraft for night operations.
The UH-1Ms was also equipped with the AN/AAQ-5 Forward Looking INFARED (FLIR) fire control system, a component developed for use on the AH-1G (SMASH) Cobra. The AN/AAQ-5 provided a televised thermal image which enabled the crew to detect, identify, and fire on ground targets during day or night operations. The M21 armament subsystem was integrated with the AN/AAQ-5 FLIR in positioning and fire control.
The UH-1Ms could also be armed with an M5 40mm grenade launcher and M60D 7.62mm or M213 .50 Cal. pintle-mounted door guns on the M59 armament subsystem.

Army Aviation Development and Test Activity
"URSUS DE CAUDA"
  ADTA stationed at Fort Rucker, Cairns Army Airfield, circa 1966 - 1972, UnUsed.....inquire
Anyone know what the Latin Phrase is on the patch....I cannot read the lettering?
loose translation is: "Never kick a bear in the ass unless you have him chained"
- - - -
partial History
Patch is from the Army Aviation Development and Test Activity (ADTA)
in the late-1980s it was resdesignated The Army Aviation Test Center(AATC)
Unit is currently called the Army Aviation Technical Test Center (ATTC)
It has always been located at Fort Rucker, Alabama on Cairns Army Airfield.
This is the functional group to test all Army Aviation aircraft and airframe related systems/ subsystems.
Historical story from a Veteran of Fort Rucker
"Fort Rucker was purchased by the government for the WWII effort. The local joke was that the only thing this land could grow was the wild black bears that inhabited it at that time.
and there were precious few of them (now extinct locally).
For years, Fort Rucker was called the Bear Farm by the locals.
Test flying helicopters was a tenuous activity, and early on, many of our helicopters were "tethered" to the ground until we were satisfied they could properly hover. Rumor/legend/whatever.. Has it that an early ATC commander flew a new helicopter that was supposed to be tethered, but wasn't. After a rather surprisingly wild ride, it was landed without damage to the enjoyment of all who witnessed the event, and it became a local joke.
The patch came along referring to the Bear Farm and the tether chains that should have been on prior to certain test flights.
The first versions were in bullion to wear on sport coats at formal functions and I have one of those as well.
Later, this patch came along and was worn through when I worked there in the 80s,
until the early 90s when the new patch for the ATTC came along.
A bit of confusion is that there was also the Army Aviation Test Board (no longer exists).
This unit was also stationed at Cairns at the same time frame and one block over from ATC,
but a totally separate function reporting to different agencies."
( I have modified the information sent to me )

- - - -
partial History
Chain-of-Command:
Army Material Command BLDG 17, Washington D.C.
Night Vision Laboratories. Telegraph Road, Alexandria, Virginia
Company's Official unit ID was "SEA NITE OPS", worked in a secure hanger on Davidson Army Airfield, Fort Belvoir, Virginia
The NOTTS detachment was housed in BLDG 2418 of the OCS Training Center at Ft. Belvoir
All personnel (78 EM & 35 Officers/Pilots) were Army & wore the Red, White, Blue AMC SSI
Unit personnel traveled in civilian clothing while teaching the use and maintenance of equiptment
How patch was designed
In 1970 the unit was looking for a patch to distinguish themselves from other units.
One of the systems they were testing was the "INFANT" (UM-1M "HUEY") which influenced the design of the NOTTS patch.
( all aspects of the System could not be shown due to security measures )
( If you have more knowledge of this patch/system please let me know Jack@LJMilitaria.com )
