[BigIron]

any takers?

Google sheds the following pinpoints of light:

​

Aboriginal Healing and Wellness Strategy​

​

Alan Howard Waldorf School​

​

Animal Health Welfare Strategy​

​

Advanced HARM Work Station​

​

Aon Home Warranty Service​

​

Any of those make sense based on your context? Advanced HARM Work Station might work...​

He is. It's the box that turns a slick 60S into one with hellfires and MTS(flir).

I've checked my trusty JP 1-02 and the NTRP 1-02 and it's not listed in either pub.
So if I put my doctrine-nazi hat on, the acronym AHWS does not exist!

Doctrine is for Russians. This is America!

Also true: since AHWS is kinda clunky, it is more often referred to as "a kit bird" or "armed helo."

I'm sorry, but "Dragon Box" is just a way cooler name for a piece of interface gear than "AHWS." Yeah, I know they do different things, but the "Dragon Box" just sounds like it does so much more!

Should've been Customizable Armed Helo Kit, or something to that effect.

I like guys who understand doctrine. You may be the first one I've met.
So for all the buttheads who think the acronym DOES exist...NO SOUP FOR YOU...ONE YEAR!
