ARH-70A ARAPAHO Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter ~ 2014 - 2015

In July 2005, the United States Army placed a contract on Bell Helicopters for the next-generation armed reconnaissance helicopter, ARH. The ARH, designated the ARH-70A Arapaho, was to replace the army's current Bell OH-58D Kiowa Warriors which have been in operation since the mid 1980s and are approaching the end of their operational life.
