Download or read book Comanche Helicopter Program - a Strategic Failure written by and published by . This book was released on 2007 with total page 21 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Army initiated the RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter as the Light Helicopter Family (LHX) in 1983 with early cost estimates of five million dollars per helicopter. In March 2004, after 22 years, 6 program restructurings, and 6.9 billion dollars, the Army Chief of Staff terminated the Comanche with the intent to reallocate 14.6 billion dollars programmed through 2011 to restructure Army Aviation. This paper explores the possibility that shortsighted threat analysis coupled with flawed group consensus within the Army allowed the Comanche Helicopter Program to continue through two decades despite intense Congressional scrutiny. Army senior level leadership safeguarded a helicopter program that did not adequately explore alternatives to transformation even when the threat environment called for a change in strategy. The Army's failure to adequately foster critical thinking about aviation threats resulted in a current helicopter force that was not adequately postured for the Global War on Terror.

This book was released on 1992 with total page 41 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although undergoing many changes during the 10 years it has been in development, the RAH-66 Comanche helicopter (formerly the Light Helicopter) is the centerpiece of the Army's aviation modernization plan. When fielded, it is to replace Vietnam-era scout and attack aircraft that the Army considers incapable of meeting existing or future requirements. Concerned about program changes over the past several years and the reduction in the threat that the Comanche was designed to address, the Chairman and the Ranking Republican Member of the Subcommittee on Investigations, House Committee on Armed Services, asked that GAO review the Army's continued development of the Comanche. GAO's specific objectives were to assess the (1) expected capabilities and role of the Comanche, (2) changes in the estimated program cost, (3) program's planned reliability and logistical support goals, and (4) risks associated with the acquisition strategy.

This book was released on 2000-03-01 with total page 137 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter was initiated as the Light Helicopter Family (LHX) in 1982 when an Army Aviation Mission Area Analysis (AAMAA) identified the need for an armed reconnaissance aircraft. Eighteen years later, the program has yet to reach a Defense Acquisition Board Milestone II review. This thesis described the history of the RAH-66 Comanche Helicopter acquisition program during these ears. The research focused on the question of what significant events and issues have occurred over the course of the Comanche's development that have allowed it to remain a viable program. The research draws several conclusions from the analysis of the Comanche's history. Mainly, despite the significant duration of the program, a valid need for an armed reconnaissance platform still exists. Secondly, the innovative program management of Comanche has maintained a positive reputation for the program. Finally, the loss of Comanche at this point in time would severely impact the defense helicopter industrial base.

Book excerpt: "On December 5, 2003, Lt. Gen Richard A. Cody, Army Deputy Chief of Staff and an experienced aviator, flew the Comanche. According to the January 2004 issue of National Defense he "...gave the aircraft a stellar review. ...Cody said that the Comanche had 'exceeded his expectations' and was particularly impressed by the rotor system, engine response and control. Cody also reportedly said the aircraft was 'easy to fly' and should be put into the hands of soldiers as soon as possible." Twelve weeks later the program was cancelled. So, what happened? How did Comanche become expendable? How did a program that was originally scheduled to enter Low Rate Initial Production in 1996 get delayed to 2011? How did an aircraft originally designed to replace the Army's light scout/attack fleet grow to become a virtual replacement for the much larger, heavier AH-64 Apache? This is a story of great accomplishment and much frustration. This is the Comanche history, as told by the some of the key members of the Comanche development team"--

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduction. This report is the second of a series of reports on the audit of the acquisition of the RAH-66 Comanche. This report addresses issues pertaining to the earned value management system, the award fee, and life-cycle costs. The Army spent $3.6 billion in research, development, test and evaluation funds through FY 1997 and is planning to spend and additional $4.3 billion through FY 2009. The Army plans to begin fielding the helicopter in 2006 for improved armed reconnaissance capability. Audit Objective. The audit objective was to evaluate the overall management of the Comanche Program. The specific objective of this portion of the audit was to evaluate the financial aspects of program management. The previous report, Inspector General, DoD, Report No. 98-125, covered the protection of the Comanche helicopter against radio frequency weapons, and a subsequent report will cover acquisition issues. We also reviewed the adequacy of the management control program as it applied to the specific stated audit objective. Audit Results. The Cost Performance Reports did not present an informative picture of the Comanche Program. Also, the process for determining the award fee was not fully documented. In addition, the life-cycle cost was underestimated.
