 The UH-72 is designed to take on a range of missions, from general support and medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) to personnel recovery and counter-narcotics operations.They are planned to replace the UH-1 and OH-58A/C, which are older light utility helicopters, and supplant other types in domestic use, primarily those in Army National Guard service.The UH-72 is being procured as a commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) product, which simplifies logistics support of the fleet.
