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.
