SASC NDAA Supports Army’s Plans To Enter Into Final Apache, Black Hawk Multi-Year Deals

摘要

The Senate Armed Services Committee’s version of the next defense policy bill supports the Army’s move to negotiate new multi-year procurement contracts for its AH-64 Apache and UH- 60 Black Hawk helicopters, citing the opportunities for hundreds of millions in cost savings. The recommendations in the bill, officially filed on Wednesday, align with the Army’s previously stated plans that the service is in negotiations with Boeing [BA] and Sikorsky [LMT] on final multi-year contracts for their respective helicopters, as the service shifts its priority to the Future Vertical Lift (FVL) fleet.
