AgustaWestland pushes AW169 for US scout requirement

摘要

After demonstrating the capabilities of its common set of new helicopters to the US Army, AgustaWestland is confident the AW169 will meet the cost and performance parameters for Armed Aerial Scout (AAS). However, rival Eurocopter is making a similar pitch with its EC145, which it says can be fielded for a similar cost as an upgrade to the current Kiowa Warrior fleet.
