title="Military helicopter">military helicopters</a> used for observation, utility, and direct fire support. It was produced by the American manufacturer <a href="/wiki/Bell_Helicopter" class="mw-redirect" title="Bell Helicopter">Bell Helicopter</a> and is closely related to the <a href="/wiki/Bell_206" title="Bell 206">Model 206A JetRanger</a> civilian helicopter. The OH-58 was originally developed during the early 1960s as the D-250 for the <a href="/wiki/Light_Observation_Helicopter" title="Light Observation Helicopter">Light Observation Helicopter</a> (LOH). While the rival <a href="/wiki/Hughes_OH-6_Cayuse" title="Hughes OH-6 Cayuse">Hughes OH-6 Cayuse</a> was picked over Bell's submission in May 1965, the company refined its design to create the Model 206A, a variant of which it successfully submitted to the reopened LOH competition two years later. The initial model, designated by the service as the OH-58A, was introduced in May 1969. Successive models would follow, often with uprated engines, enhanced protection systems, and other improvements, culminating in the OH-58F. Additional improvements, such as the OH-58X, were proposed but ultimately not pursued. During the 1970s, the US Army became interested in pursuing an advanced scout helicopter, for which the OH-58 would be further developed, evaluated, and ultimately procured as the OH-58D Kiowa Warrior. The OH-58D is equipped to perform armed reconnaissance missions and to provide fire support to friendly ground forces; it is equipped with a distinctive Mast Mounted Sight (MMS) containing various sensors for target acquisition and laser designation. Another visible feature present on most OH-58s are knife-like extensions above and below the cockpit that form part of the passive <a href="/wiki/Wire_strike_protection_system" title="Wire strike protection system">wire strike protection system</a>. The early-build OH-58s were equipped with a two-bladed main rotor, while the OH-58D and newer variants have a four-bladed rotor. The OH-58 was primarily produced for the <a href="/wiki/United_States_Army" title="United States Army">United States Army</a>. Only two months after the type's entry to service, it was first deployed into the <a href="/wiki/Vietnam_War" title="Vietnam War">Vietnam War</a>. The US Army would make extensive use of various OH-58 models across numerous war zones over the decades, seeing active combat during the <a href="/wiki/Gulf_War" title="Gulf War">Gulf War</a>, the <a href="/wiki/United_States_invasion_of_Panama" title="United States invasion of Panama">Invasion of Panama</a>, and the <a href="/wiki/War_in_Afghanistan" title="War in Afghanistan">War in Afghanistan</a> among others. During 2017, the US Army opted to withdraw its remaining OH-58s, making use of alternative rotorcraft, such as the <a href="/wiki/Boeing_AH-64_Apache" title="Boeing AH-64 Apache">Boeing AH-64 Apache</a> and <a href="/wiki/Eurocopter_UH-72_Lakota" title="Eurocopter UH-72 Lakota">Eurocopter UH-72 Lakota</a>, as well as increasing use of <a href="/wiki/Unmanned_aerial_vehicle" title="Unmanned aerial vehicle">unmanned aerial vehicles</a> (UAVs), to fill the role.

On 8 December 1962, the first prototype performed its <a href="/wiki/Maiden_flight" title="Maiden flight">maiden flight</a>.<a href="#cite_note-1000photos-1-10">[9]</a> The YOH-4A was also called the Ugly Duckling in comparison to other contending aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-1000photos-1-10">[9]</a> After a fly off of the Bell, Hughes and Fairchild-Hiller prototypes, the <a href="/wiki/Hughes_OH-6_Cayuse" title="Hughes OH-6 Cayuse">Hughes OH-6 Cayuse</a> was selected in May 1965.<a href="#cite_note-11">[10]</a> When the YOH-4A was rejected by the Army, Bell went about solving the problem of marketing the aircraft. In addition to the image problem, the helicopter lacked cargo space and only provided cramped quarters for the planned three passengers in the back. The solution was a fuselage redesigned to be more sleek and aesthetic, adding 16 cubic feet (0.45 cubic metres) of cargo space in the process.<a href="#cite_note-aastad-12">[11]</a> The redesigned aircraft was designated as the Model 206A, and Bell President Edwin J. Ducayet named it the JetRanger denoting an evolution from the popular <a href="/wiki/Bell_47J_Ranger" title="Bell 47J Ranger">Model 47J Ranger</a>. In 1967, the Army reopened the LOH competition for bids because Hughes Tool Co.

Anticipating the <a href="/wiki/AH-64_Apache" class="mw-redirect" title="AH-64 Apache">AH-64A</a>'s replacement of the venerable <a href="/wiki/AH-1_Cobra" class="mw-redirect" title="AH-1 Cobra">AH-1</a>, the Army began shopping the idea of an Aerial Scout Program to stimulate the development of advanced technological capabilities for night vision and precision navigation equipment. The stated goals of the program included prototypes that would: <blockquote>...possess an extended target acquisition range capability by means of a long-range stabilized optical subsystem for the observer, improved position location through use of a computerized navigation system, improved survivability by reducing aural, visual, radar, and infrared signatures, and an improved flight performance capability derived from a larger engine to provide compatibility with attack helicopters.<a href="#cite_note-cmh-1972-05-17">[16]</a></blockquote> During March 1974, the Army created a special task force at <a href="/wiki/Fort_Knox" title="Fort Knox">Fort Knox</a> to develop the system requirements;<a href="#cite_note-cmh-1974-11-18">[17]</a> by the following year, the task force had devised the requirements for an Advanced Scout Helicopter (ASH) program. The requirements were formulated around an rotorcraft capable of performing in day, night, and adverse weather, and compatible with all advanced weapons systems planned for development and fielding into the 1980s. The program was approved by the System Acquisition Review Council and the Army prepared for competitive development to begin the next year.<a href="#cite_note-cmh-1975-10-19">[18]</a> However, as the Army tried to get the program off the ground, Congress declined to provide funding in the fiscal year 1977 budget and the ASH Project Manager's Office (PM-ASH) was closed on 30 September 1976.<a href="#cite_note-cmh-1976-10-20">[19]</a> While no development occurred for some years, the program survived as a requirement without funding. On 30 November 1979, the decision was made to defer development of an advanced scout helicopter in favor of modifying existing airframes in inventory as a near term scout helicopter (NTSH) option. The development of a mast-mounted sight would be the primary focus to improve the ability to perform reconnaissance, surveillance, and target acquisition missions while remaining hidden behind trees and terrain. Both the UH-1 and the OH-58 were evaluated as NTSH candidates, but the UH-1 was dropped from consideration due to its larger size and ease of detection. The OH-58, on the other hand demonstrated a dramatic reduction in detectability with a Mast-Mounted Sight (MMS).[<a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:Citation_needed" title="Wikipedia:Citation needed">citation needed</a>] On 10 July 1980, the Army decided that the NTSH would be a competitive modification program based on developments in the commercial helicopter sector, particularly Hughes Helicopters' <a href="/wiki/MD_Helicopters_MD_500" title="MD Helicopters MD 500">Hughes 500D</a>, which had made major improvements over the OH-6.<a href="#cite_note-cmh-1980-11-21">[20]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Army_Helicopter_Improvement_Program_(AHIP)">Army Helicopter Improvement Program (AHIP)</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_OH-58_Kiowa&action=edit&section=4" title="Edit section: Army Helicopter Improvement Program (AHIP)">edit</a>]</div> The Army's decision to acquire the NTSH resulted in the "Army Helicopter Improvement Program (AHIP)". Both Bell Helicopter and Hughes Helicopters redesigned their scout aircraft to compete for the contract. Bell offered a more robust version of the OH-58 in their Model 406,<a href="#cite_note-tri-2-22">[21]</a> and Hughes offered an upgraded version of the OH-6. On 21 September 1981, Bell Helicopter Textron was awarded a development contract.<a href="#cite_note-23">[22]</a><a href="#cite_note-cmh-1981-11-24">[23]</a> On 6 October 1983, the first prototype performed its maiden flight,<a href="#cite_note-Jackson-1-5">[4]</a> and the aircraft entered service two years later as the OH-58D.<a href="#cite_note-cmh-1986-04-25">[24]</a> Initially intended for attack, cavalry, and artillery roles, the Army only approved a low initial production level and confined the OH-58D's role to field artillery observation. The Army also directed that a follow-on test be conducted to further evaluate it due to perceived deficiencies.

On 24 February 1988, two AHIP helicopters reported to the Mobile Sea Base Wimbrown VII, and the helicopter team ("SEABAT" team after their callsign) stationed on the barge returned to the United States. For the next few months, the AHIP helicopters on the Wimbrown VII shared patrol duties with the SEABAT team on the Hercules.

In November 1988, the number of OH-58D helicopters that supported Task Force 118 was reduced. However, the rotorcraft continued to operate from the Navy's Mobile Sea Base Hercules, the frigate <a href="/wiki/USS_Underwood_(FFG-36)" class="mw-redirect" title="USS Underwood (FFG-36)">Underwood</a>, and the destroyer <a href="/wiki/USS_Conolly_(DD-979)" class="mw-redirect" title="USS Conolly (DD-979)">Conolly</a>.

After 13 days in captivity, Hall was freed on 30 December, uninjured.<a href="#cite_note-43">[42]</a><a href="#cite_note-44">[43]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Afghanistan_and_Iraq">Afghanistan and Iraq</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_OH-58_Kiowa&action=edit&section=13" title="Edit section: Afghanistan and Iraq">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-left" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg/220px-U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="130" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg/330px-U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/2d/U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg/440px-U.S_Army_OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_Armed_Reconnaissance_Helicopter_at_Kandahar_Airfield_MOD_45162023.jpg 2x" data-file-width="3600" data-file-height="2121" /></a><figcaption>OH-58D at <a href="/wiki/Kandahar_International_Airport#21st_century" title="Kandahar International Airport">Kandahar</a>, 2011</figcaption></figure> <figure class="mw-default-size" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province,_Afghanistan,_Feb._3,_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province%2C_Afghanistan%2C_Feb._3%2C_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg/220px-OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province%2C_Afghanistan%2C_Feb._3%2C_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="146" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province%2C_Afghanistan%2C_Feb._3%2C_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg/330px-OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province%2C_Afghanistan%2C_Feb._3%2C_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/8/8d/OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province%2C_Afghanistan%2C_Feb._3%2C_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg/440px-OH-58D_Kiowa_Warrior_helicopters_are_covered_in_snow_at_Bagram_Airfield_in_Parwan_province%2C_Afghanistan%2C_Feb._3%2C_2013_130203-A-IA071-001.jpg 2x" data-file-width="1500" data-file-height="998" /></a><figcaption>Group of Kiowa Warriors covered by snow at <a href="/wiki/Bagram_Air_Base" class="mw-redirect" title="Bagram Air Base">Bagram Air Base</a>, 2013</figcaption></figure> The U.S. Army employed the OH-58D during <a href="/wiki/Operation_Iraqi_Freedom" class="mw-redirect" title="Operation Iraqi Freedom">Operation Iraqi Freedom</a> in <a href="/wiki/Iraq" title="Iraq">Iraq</a> and <a href="/wiki/Operation_Enduring_Freedom" title="Operation Enduring Freedom">Operation Enduring Freedom</a> in <a href="/wiki/Afghanistan" title="Afghanistan">Afghanistan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-army-technology.com-45">[44]</a><a href="#cite_note-46">[45]</a> Between a combination of combat and accidents, over 35 airframes have been lost, resulting in the deaths of 35 pilots.<a href="#cite_note-47">[46]</a> Their presence was also anecdotally credited with saving lives, having been used to rescue wounded despite their small size.<a href="#cite_note-48">[47]</a> In Iraq, OH-58Ds reportedly flew 72 hours per month, while in Afghanistan, the type flew 80 hours per month.<a href="#cite_note-hours-49">[48]</a> During April 2013, Bell stated that the OH-58 collectively accumulated 820,000 combat hours, and had achieved a 90% mission capable rate.<a href="#cite_note-50">[49]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Retirement">Retirement</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_OH-58_Kiowa&action=edit&section=14" title="Edit section: Retirement">edit</a>]</div> The U.S. Army's first attempt to replace the OH-58 was the <a href="/wiki/RAH-66_Comanche" class="mw-redirect" title="RAH-66 Comanche">RAH-66 Comanche</a> of the <a href="/wiki/Light_Helicopter_Experimental" title="Light Helicopter Experimental">Light Helicopter Experimental</a> program, which was canceled in 2004.

The Apache costs 50 percent more than the Kiowa to operate and maintain; studies note that had it been used in place of the Kiowa in Iraq and Afghanistan, total operating costs would have risen by $4 billion, but also saved $1 billion per year in operating and sustainment costs. <a href="/wiki/UH-60_Black_Hawk" class="mw-redirect" title="UH-60 Black Hawk">UH-60 Black Hawks</a> would transfer from the active Army to reserve and Guard units.

Early OH-58Cs had flat-panel windscreens as an attempt to reduce glint from the sun, which could reveal its location to enemies. The windscreens had a negative effect of limiting the crew's forward view, a previous strength of the original design.

The Bell 406CS "Combat Scout" was based on the OH-58D (sometimes referred to as the MH-58D).

Unlike most military projects, the Army designed and built the new variant itself, which lowered development costs. It weighed 3,590 lb (1,630 kg), 53 lb (24 kg) below the target weight and about 200 lb (91 kg) lighter than the OH-58D. The weight savings are attributed to more efficient wiring and a lighter sensor. The first production aircraft began manufacturing in January 2013 and was handed over to the Army by year end. Low rate production was to start in March 2015, with the first operational squadron being fully equipped by 2016. The Army was to buy 368 OH-58Fs, with older OH-58 variants to be remanufactured.<a href="#cite_note-104">[103]</a> Due to battle damage and combat attrition, total OH-58F numbers would be about 321 aircraft.<a href="#cite_note-105">[104]</a> The OH-58F's first flight occurred on 26 April 2013.<a href="#cite_note-106">[105]</a> The Army chose to retire the Kiowa and end the CASUP upgrades. CASUP and SLEP upgrades were estimated to cost $3 billion and $7 billion respectively. The OH-58D could do 20 percent of armed aerial scout mission requirements, the OH-58F upgrade raised that to 50 percent. Replacing the Kiowa with Apaches and UAVs in scout roles met 80 percent of requirements.<a href="#cite_note-ndm14jan14-74">[73]</a> In early 2014, Bell received a stop-work order for the Kiowa CASUP program.<a href="#cite_note-107">[106]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="OH-58F_Block_II">OH-58F Block II</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_OH-58_Kiowa&action=edit&section=22" title="Edit section: OH-58F Block II">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:OH-58X.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/OH-58X.jpg/220px-OH-58X.jpg" decoding="async" width="220" height="162" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/OH-58X.jpg/330px-OH-58X.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/3/31/OH-58X.jpg/440px-OH-58X.jpg 2x" data-file-width="543" data-file-height="400" /></a><figcaption>OH-58X, a modified OH-58D prototype.

The OH-58F is an "obsolescence upgrade", while the Block II was seen as the performance upgrade. This gave the Army financial flexibility via the option of upgrading the Kiowa to the OH-58F and later continuing to the Block II when there were sufficient funds.<a href="#cite_note-110">[109]</a> In late 2012, the Army recommended that the AAS program proceed.<a href="#cite_note-aas_forward-51">[50]</a><a href="#cite_note-AW_slep-52">[51]</a> The Army ended the AAS program in late 2013.<a href="#cite_note-111">[110]</a> In light of sequestration budget cuts in 2013, it was decided that the $16 billion cost to buy new armed scout helicopters was too great.<a href="#cite_note-ndm14jan14-74">[73]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Others">Others</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Bell_OH-58_Kiowa&action=edit&section=23" title="Edit section: Others">edit</a>]</div> The OH-58X was a modification of the fourth development OH-58D (s/n 69-16322) with partial stealth features and a chin-mounted McDonnell Douglas Electronics Systems turret as a night piloting system; including a Kodak FLIR system with a 30-degree field of view.
