Afghanistan to expand Cayuse Warrior fleet

摘要

MD HELICOPTERS is to supply the Afghan Air Force (AAF) with up to 12 more MD 530F Cayuse Warriors under a fourth delivery order issued against the existing five-year, US$1.4bn indefinite delivery/indefinite quantity (IDIQ) contract. The firm fixed-price award for the additional light attack and armed reconnaissance helicopters was made through the US Army Contracting Command on behalf of the Multi-national Aviation Special Project Office (MASPO). The IDIQ contract covers an estimated 150 MD 530F and/or MD 530G helicopters, up to 54 of which are now under contract for different operators.
