Subject
Summary:

The Longbow Hellfire is an air-to-ground missile designed to be fired from a modified Apache helicopter. Testing showed the missile to be operationally effective and suitable. However, the Army's current requirements of 12,722 missiles may be overstated by more than 8,300 missiles. The Army made computational errors and a questionable assumption that resulted in an overstatement of about 7,100 missiles, and test results suggest that the missile quantity could be reduced by nearly 1,200 more missiles. Although cost estimates for cutting 8,300 missiles are not yet available, the Defense Department believes that it could save up to $500 million by eliminating 4,000 of these weapons.
