Abstract:

The AH-64E Apache Remanufacture AH-64E Remanufacture is the heavy attack helicopter of the current and the future force. It is a twin engine, four bladed, tandem seat, attack helicopter with 30-millimeter ammunition, 2.75- inch rockets, laser Radio Frequency Hellfire missiles. AH-64E is the Armys network-centric, multi-role weapon system within the Future Modular Force FMF. It will provide the capability to simultaneously conduct or quickly transition between close combat, mobile strike, armed reconnaissance, security and vertical maneuver missions across the full spectrum of warfare from Stability And Support Operations to Major Combat Operations when required in day, night, obscured battlefield and adverse weather conditions. AH-64E will enable the Joint AirGround Maneuver Team to dominate the battle space by providing air-ground synergy through real time Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance ISR information and responsive precision fires. AH-64E will be linked to Joint and Combined Arms AirGround Maneuver Teams via Enhanced Digital Communications, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Data Links and Joint Networking waveforms. The AH-64E is an Apache Attack Helicopter modified as required to effectively and efficiently integrate the Longbow Apache well into the 21st century, by providing improvements to make it relevant in FMF operations. It provides a significantly enhanced warfighting capability over the AH-64A and AH-64D. It is capable of being employed day or night in adverse weather and obscurants, and can effectively engage and destroy advanced threat weapon systems on the air-land battlefield. Tactically, the AH-64E provides significant war fighting advantages over the original AH- 64D and multiplies the combat effectiveness of the entire fleet. It will be fully capable of employing the Longbow Fire Control Radar mission kit, the Modernized Target Acquisition Designation SystemModernized Pilot Night Vision System, the Longbow Hellfire missiles,
