The TIGER weapon System is the most sophisticated combat helicopter available on the world market today. After the abort of the American COMMANCHE Program the TIGER has presently no direct rivals in technological respects. Especially the maintenance-free airframe mainly fabricated from carbon fiber composite material as well as the ultramodern rotor System effectuate that an overall service life of 6.000 flying hours can be achieved without high maintenance/service and overhaul expenditures. As the actual end of the useable life of the airframe will not nearly be reached at that time, extensions of the service life are feasible at low costs. The initially projected service life of 30 years is thus possible to be extended without any problems. (Europäische Sicherheit / SWP)
