It is derived from the Eurocopter EC155 and is closely related to the Light Armed Helicopter (LAH), a militarised rotorcraft intended for battlefield operations.

During September 2022, type certification for the LCH was received from the South Korean aviation authorities; the first production rotorcraft was delivered in the following month.

[3] One specific technology shared is the digital four-axis autopilot, which is fitted upon both the Surion and the EC155; it provides relatively stable hover performance even under extreme conditions, along with precision settings for altitude, speed and headwind.

[3] In the following month, the first production standard LCH was delivered to a local operator, Gloria Aviation, which will use it to provide emergency medical services (EMS) around Jeju Island from December 2022 onwards.

It is envisioned that the type will perform in mission roles such as search and rescue (SAR), air ambulance, utility, law enforcement, and aerial firefighting.
