The Army’s aviation fleet is undergoing a total overhaul...

In the near future, helicopters in Iraq, Afghanistan and Kuwait will be equipped with Ballistic Protection Blankets, Missile Approach Detectors, Countermeasure Sets and Radar and Laser Detecting Sets...

Aviators, crewmen, commanders and the technology community gathered to unfold the Army’s aviation transformation plan in Nashville, Tenn., March 24-27.

By 2011, the Army will purchase 796 new aircraft, upgrade the current fleet to be more survivable, lethal and agile and work with the Marines to develop the Joint Multi-Role Helicopter.
