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 safety issues with the current fielded fleet. KW CASUP is not the alternative solution to meet the Armed Scout Helicopter capability. Funding supports the Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) voluntary flight demonstration and AAS milestone support/risk reduction. Post FY 2013 funding will be re-addressed as program stategies mature.
