AS645 scout helicopter being offered to U.S. Army
An EADS North America/Lockheed Martin team plans to offer the AS645 scout helicopter for a U.S. Army requirement to replace its OH-58.

The helicopter will be able to meet the Army's requirement of hovering at 35°C (95°F) and 6,000ft (1,839m) with a 1,045kg (2,300lb) payload.

But it will missed the endurance target requirement of 2h 40min by one hour. The team plans to work on that deficiency.
