It gained impetus with the advent of the Vietnam War, and was aided by advances in helicopter technology, specifically the development of the turboshaft engine.
During the Langley tests, an OH-58 was attached to the end of a 196-foot (60 m) long cable, pulled back, and released to swing through wires mounted horizontally at a height of approximately 22 feet (6.7 m).

The Armed Aerial Scout (AAS) was the planned replacement for the OH-58 Kiowa in United States Army service.
