The Lockheed AH-56 Cheyenne is an attack helicopter developed by Lockheed for the United States Army.It rose from the Army's Advanced Aerial Fire Support System (AAFSS) program to field the service's first dedicated attack helicopter.
The AH-1 was originally intended as an interim gunship for jungle fighting in Vietnam. It was lightly armed then and not intended for the anti-armor role that the AH-56 was designed for. Things changed though. By the time the AH-56 program was finally ended in 1972, the US Army put TOW missiles on Cobras (AH-1Q) for use against tanks.
