AH-72 Eaglehawk

The Boeing Integrated Defense Systems AH-72 Eaglehawk is a dual role Reconnaissance-Attack Helicopter, however it's attack role has overshadowed it's recon role. The Eaglehawk was developed with stealth in mind, being able to "hide" it's weapons and reduce its signature. The AH-72's recon role has been handed off to the OH-58F and ARH-70 Armed Recon Helicopters and operate in tandem with the Eaglehawk. The Eaglehawk is named for the Australian Wedgetailed Eagle.

The AH-72 Eaglehawk was the result of the Advanced Attack Helicopter Competition in which it beat out several designs, including the unique YAH-70. The competition was aimed at developing a Stealth Attack Helicopter to serve alongside the AH-64E Apache Guardian Attack Helicopter and one day replace it as the principle attack helicopter in the D.R.
