Armed, Deployable Helos
Abstract
The Project 538 funding line develops, integrates and tests modifications which will allow the Kiowa Warrior (KW) to continue to safely serve as the Army's armed reconnaissance aviation capability until replaced/retired. An ACAT II program, OH-58F KW Cockpit and Sensor Upgrade Program (CASUP), was established to address capability shortfalls, obsolescence, and safety issues with the current fielded fleet and is required through 2025 and beyond. KW CASUP current program baseline is not the alternative solution to meet the Armed Scout Helicopter (Project 53Z) capability. Funding supports the Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) voluntary flight demonstration and AAS milestone support/risk reduction. Post FY 2014 funding will be re-addressed as program strategies mature.
