The problem here seems to be that the Army doesn't really know what it wants in an SUV helicopter. The same is true for many other armies, including the US Army. I think the RMs have a better understanding of their needs. A light attack and recce helo that can also lift a bit, that can move within the littoral,that can act as a mini airborne command post - basically a SCMR painted green. Perhaps this is what the AAC needs as well? How much more useful would a BRH with rockets/MR IR missile and an ISAR radar,data link.....and an Observer (RN version) in the LHS.....now there's an idea! But would it get past the "Bah, Humbug" brigade?
