The Army still expects its Chinook Block II upgrades to reach Milestone C in the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2021, despite the disruptions that the coronavirus pandemic has caused for the defense industry writ large, according to a service official.
In a May 6 teleconference with reporters, Col. Al Niles, project manager for cargo helicopters, said the service has been working with Boeing on ways to mitigate potential challenges.
The first flight test for the upgraded Chinook kicked off in November last year and the platform is currently in the engineering, manufacturing and development phase.
