Eurocopter contract on hold after protest lodged by competitor
Work on the U.S. Army's Light Utility Helicopter program has been suspended as MD Helicopters has filed a protest against the decision to award the contract to Eurocopter.

The U.S. Government Accountability Office has imposed a 90-day freeze. This will add pressure to Eurocopter as it needs to supply eight UH-72As to the Army by the end of the year.
