Boeing and MDHI joint venture
Boeing and MDHI have entered into an arrangement that will allow the two companies to compete for the US Army's upcoming Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Program.
Corporate leaders signed a teaming agreement in Mesa, Arizona last week, allowing the companies "to utilize their respective and complementary capabilities to pursue new business."
Boeing and MDHI will team to compete for the Army's armed reconnaissance requirement - about 360 helicopters - and will offer a version of the Mission Enhanced Little Bird (MELB) design, based on the MH-6 helicopter, orignally developed by Hughes Helicopter. Following the Comanche decision. Army officials are said to be in favour of increasing numbers of MH-6s MLEBs which currently fly with the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment (Airborne) - The Night Stalkers.
Many mods have been made over the years, including an advanced cockpit designed to 160th's own specs.
