It's
quite a battle without arms, but political statements and quality, value
for money ! |

Do
read our story on the bottom of this webpage, how things develop
momentarily. |

Leading
picture in many ways might be this EADS North American AAS-72+ Armed
Aerial Scout combat helicopter |
![](../2013/02-PENV/Kiowa/02-%20Sikorski%20S-97%20Raider.jpg) |
A
complete new design is this Sikorski S-97 Raider, a totally new to be
developed concept |

The
'Lakota' is already in use by the American Army Airforce.... |

....though
not yet made so very suitable for armoured (attack) tasks. |
![](../2013/02-PENV/Kiowa/05-%20AAS-72X.jpg) |
The
AAS_X shows clearly that the deisgn is based on the EC-145 |
![](../2013/02-PENV/Kiowa/06-%20AAS-72X.jpg) |
This
AAS-72X meets all demands of high altitude and high temperatures of the
US-Army. |

OH-58
Kiowa, the soon to be replaced type. |

This
Kiowa is equipped with a nose-sensor |

Boeing
is also interested in delivering new helicopters, main concurrents are
Bell and EADS for now. |

We
had the pleasure to fly the Kiowa type |
|
North
American AAS-72+ in front |

The
Kiowa was pictured many times during our stay at kandahar in Afghanistan |

Still
the 'Warrior' is a well respected and very useful helicopter |

The
OH-58 is more or less 'at home' under desert circumstances. Any other new
type should do also ! |

A
last view on the AAS-72X+ , as contender. May the best one win ! |
