The vertical scale does not start at zero: the baseline sits just below this program’s smallest year, so a low point on this line is not a small amount. Read the shape for direction and the grid below for the figures.
● actuals (line) · ○ enacted · ◇ request — gaps are editions the program is absent from, never interpolated.

Asked vs spent: the PB2024 book requested $4.29M for FY2024; the PB2026 book reported $4.28M as actual total obligation authority — $17.0K below the request. 4.3 − 4.3 = -0.0 USD millions — the compact figures above are rounded for reading.

Description
Description — UH-1Y/AH-1Z
The mission of the AH-1Z attack helicopter is to provide rotary wing close air support, anti-armor, armed escort, armed/visual reconnaissance, anti-helicopter and point air defense and fire support coordination during day/night conditions. UH-1Y utility helicopter also provides command and control and combat assault support during day/night and reduced weather conditions. The UH-1Y/AH-1Z procurement strategy is to convert 37 AH-1W helicopters into AH-1Zs (complete), build 152 new AH-1Zs, remanufacture ten (10) H-1N helicopters into UH-1Ys (complete), and build 150 new UH-1Y models. The UH-1Y and AH-1Z share an 85 percent common footprint, which includes portions of maintenance planning, technical data, supply support, support equipment, facilities, and resources required at the intermediate and depot level maintenance activities for both structural and avionics items of repair. The UH-1Y and AH-1Z include a new 4-bladed rotor system with semiautomatic blade fold of the new composite rotor blades, performance-matched transmissions, a new 4-bladed tail rotor and drive system, upgraded landing gear, and pylon structural modifications as compared to the legacy aircraft. Both aircraft also incorporate common, modernized, and fully integrated cockpits/avionics that will reduce operator work load and improve situational awareness and safety. The UH-1Y/AH-1Z aircraft have increased maneuverability, speed, and payload capability. Additionally, the AH-1Z upgrades the current AH-1W Night Targeting System (NTS) Forward Looking Infrared (FLIR) system to a 3rd generation, staring, focal plane array FLIR that significantly extends autonomous weapons engagement ranges.
Justification
Justification — UH-1Y/AH-1Z
FY2026 budget request continues Production Line Shutdown costs associated with Aircraft Contractor Furnished Equipment (CFE), Government Furnished Equipment/Government Furnished Property (GFE/GFP) which includes planning and administration of the physical disposition of tools and equipment, data transition, supplier close-out, government and contractor labor, tech data procurements, and storage requirements. The final domestic aircraft was delivered in September 2022. Production Line Shutdown and Acquisition Closure requirements continue into FY30, following the last planned delivery of FMS aircrafts. The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.422 million for Advisory and Assistance Services to promote efficiencies and advance the policies of the Administration in alignment with Executive Order 14222, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Cost Efficiency Initiative." The FY 2026 request was reduced by $0.029 million for civilian personnel to optimize the workforce in compliance with Executive Order 14210, "Implementing the President's Department of Government Efficiency Workforce Optimization Initiative."

Contractor concentration
High-confidence award links only, pooled across ingested years. The index uses positive obligations; program obligations are net of deobligations. The figures over every published link, including medium-confidence ones, are in the downloadable warehouse, not on this page — why.
