EADS unveils latest Armed Aerial Scout proposal
EADS North America has unveiled its Armed Aerial Scout 72X+ (AAS-72X+) at the annual Army Aviation Association of America convention in Nashville.
The AAS-72X+, an armed derivative of the Army’s UH-72A Lakota light utility helicopter will be manufactured by the company’s American Eurocopter business unit in Columbus, Mississippi.
The AAS-72X+ helicopter builds on the three Armed Aerial Scout technical demonstrator aircraft (TDA) already developed, tested and flown, using the company’s own research and development investment.
“This latest evolution of the Armed Scout gives us the option of offering an even more capable system, to ensure our combat troops have the very best aircraft available to meet their demanding missions,” said Sean O’Keefe, EADS North America Chairman and CEO. “We look forward to demonstrating the advanced performance of the AAS-72X+ during the Army’s voluntary flight demonstration this summer.”
The AAS-72X or AAS-72X+ could be built and delivered at a cost competitive with the upgrades planned for the Vietnam-era OH-58 Kiowa Warrior and fielded to Army units as early as 2016.
