The Eurocopter AS550 Fennec (now H125M) and AS555 Fennec 2 are lightweight, multi-purpose military helicopters manufactured by the Eurocopter Group (now Airbus Helicopters).
Based on the AS350 Ecureuil and AS355 Ecureuil 2 series, they are named after the fennec fox.
The armed versions of the AS550 and AS555 can be fitted with coaxial weapons, rockets, torpedoes and various other munitions.
As a result of the Vienna Treaty, military variants of the Écureuil were marketed under a separate designation, thus from 1990 onwards the type was marketed as the Fennec.
