Army aviation presentation on the Armed Scout Helicopter (ASH) fleet, which includes the OH-58 Kiowa Warrior. Briefing says the army will conduct an 18-month to 24-month analysis of alternatives for a replacement to the cancelled ARH contract with Bell Helicopter. Meanwhile, the Army will improve the Kiowa Warrior with a more modern, lighter-weight gun and exchange the mast-mounted sensor for a nose-mounted sensor. Additionally, the army will upgrade some Army national guard battalions flying AH-64As to the Longbow Apache standard.
