Boeing and AgustaWestland (Booth No. 529) have signed a memorandum of understanding for joint work on the next-generation Chinook for the Italian Army. The deal could lead to similar joint opportunities in the future.

The agreement between Boeing’s Integrated Defense Systems’ rotorcraft division and AgustaWestland calls for the companies to team on marketing and development of the CH-47F to replace the current Italian Army Chinook fleet, a contract for which the companies are bidding jointly.
