Congressional Budget Office Report: Modernizing the Army's Rotary-Wing Aviation Fleet (November 2007).
The US Army's rotary-wing aviation fleet numbers about 3,500 aircraft, including utility, cargo, attack, and reconnaissance
helicopters. Between now and 2030, the Army plans to modernize the fleet to sustain and improve its capabilities, a task the
CBO estimates will have an average cost of about $3.3 billion per year, substantially more than the $2.2 billion per year the
Army spent on such programs over the past 20 years. The report analyzes the costs and capabilities of the Army's planned
rotary-wing aviation fleet and offers four alternative approaches to modernizing the fleet.
