Why Boeing's HH-47 Chinook won the CSAR-X competition
Flight International says the HH-47 won the CSAR-X competition because Boeing convinced the USAF that the Chinook already has Block 0 capability and limited Block 10 as well.
Boeing argued that putting the terrain-following/terrain-avoidance (TF/TA) radar on their competitor's helicopters would be an expensive and time-consuming process. Its HH-47 already has the TF/TA radar due to its MH-47G lineage.
