Schoomaker: Canceling Comanche smart move for Army aviation

Article Abstract:

The decision to cancel production of the new RAH-66 Comanche scout helicopter, which is paying rich dividends, is discussed. The $14.6 billion Comanche program would produce only 121 aircrafts, having added very little in terms of aircraft survivability for the Army, and could only be used at night as a means to protect the aircraft.
