The US Army has opened discussions with American Eurocopter to introduce a B-model of the UH-72A Lakota in 2017, company officials say.
"The army every 10 years looks at how to improve and enhance and modernise its aircraft," says Marc Paganini,
American Eurocopter chief executive.
Details of the potential upgrade are unclear, but Eurocopter has introduced the T2 model of the EC145 since the UH-72A was introduced into service in 2007. The T2 model replaces the tail rotor with a finestron, among other improvements.
