An additional 300 units will be fielded in 2021-24, according to principal deputy to the assistant secretary of the US Army for acquisition, logistics and technology Jeffrey White. He made the announcement during the 23rd National Guard Association of the US Annual Industry Day on 10 December.

The acquisition focuses on total lifecycle management for over 700 programmes of the US Army.

Jeffrey White said: “We’ve adopted the ‘cradle-to-grave’ perspective when evaluating materiel solutions that drive innovation and provides space for continued process improvement. And, the army is delivering modernised capabilities in a balanced and affordable manner.”

Around 64 UH-60M aircraft will be produced for the US Army National Guard for FY2020. The programme also includes 172 for the period from 2021 to 2024.
