The AH-64E delivers required and enhanced operational capabilities with increased “time on wing” and reduced operations and support cost.The U.S. Army Modernization Plan calls for the Apache to remain a major weapons system in the Army's force structure until 2040 and beyond. Therefore, to maintain readiness, mission effectiveness, and operational relevance, AH-64E modernization is essential.The Army’s plan is for 690 AH-64E Apache aircraft. In addition, a growing number of defense forces worldwide are under contract or considering upgrading to the AH-64E.The AH-64E Apache helicopter has 26 new technologies to enhance its capabilities, including an improved drive system; a new composite main rotor blade; an increase in the hover ceiling altitude at greater gross weight; and a more powerful on-board computer system to help pilots remotely fly unmanned aircraft and streamline maintenance.BI411157 (MCF17-0058-0788)Maximum size:4889px × 2993px (~41 MB)16.2in × 9.9in (300dpi)License type:Rights ManagedKeywords:2010s-AH-64E Apache-ammunition/weapons systems-Arizona-blue skies-brown-copy space-day-deserts-exteriors-fire-control radar dome-flying-full body views-green-ground to air-haze-head on views-high-tech / advanced-hoveringRelated Photo/Videos:View AllRelated Virtual folders:AH-64E Apache
