Boeing, Army to ask for at least $350M for Longbow choppers
Due to delays in the Bell armed reconnaissance helicopter program, U.S. Army officials are seeking to upgrade AH-64A attack helicopters in four Army National Guard battalions to Lowbow standard.

Those 92 helicopters were supposed to be replaced with Bell’s armed reconnaissance helicopter rather than Longbows.

However the delay in the program meant that those Apaches will be around for another nine years.
