The USCG Dolphins have standard pitot tubes under the chin and also have this small mast ontop of the rotorhead. This is the Air Data Sensor which is largly outside of the aerodynamic effects of the aircraft during flight and so gives the best indication of wind speed and direction. This data is fed to the autopilot for flight and hovering.
