Asian buyers seek improved Longbow
Taiwan and South Korea could be potential export customers for a new littoral version of the Longbow fire-control radar.
The upgraded radar adds an over-water capability and improved reliability. It will be available as part of Block 3 spiral development programme between 2010 and 2015.
Seoul is preparing to relaunch its attack helicopter contest in 2008, with the AH-64D considered the current favourite.
Longbow International is preparing to supply a radar similar to the new littoral version of the Longbow system should Taiwan opt for Bell Helicopter’s AH-1Z from 2007.
