Armed, Deployable Helos

Abstract

The Kiowa Warrior (KW) funding line (Project 538) develops, integrates and tests modifications which will allow the OH-58D to continue to safely serve as the Army's armed reconnaissance aviation capability until replaced/retired. An ACAT II program, KW Cockpit And Sensor Upgrade Program (CASUP), was established to address capability shortfalls, obsolescence, and performance issues with the current fielded fleet. KW CASUP is not the alternative solution to meet the Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter capability. The Armed Scout Helicopter funding line (Project 53Z) has been established to fund the Analysis of Alternatives (AoA) and milestone documentation development in support of efforts to identify a replacement for the aging KW fleet or an upgrade to the OH-58 design.
