The OH-55 Kiowa scout helicopter has the primary missions of reconnaissance, surveillance, and intelligence gathering. The OH-55D Kiowa Warrior has the additional mission capability of target acquisition and laser designation. It can operate during the day or night and in adverse weather. Under a program designated Prime Chance, some OH-55Ds have been retrofitted to carry air-to-air and air-to-ground weapons.
