ARH canceled
Chief Pentagon weapons buyer John Young said on Thursday the Bell ARH-70 Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter will be scrapped.

This was the Pentagon's first cancellation under the Nunn-McCurdy law in several years.

Young said it would be better for the Army to start from scratch rather than continue with the program which has seen the cost of each aircraft soared nearly 70 percent to $14.5 million.
