Abstract
The AH-64E Apache New Build (AH-64E New Build), hereinafter referred to as AH-64E, is the heavy attack helicopter of the current and future force. It is a twin engine, four-bladed, tandem seat, attack helicopter with 30-millimeter ammunition, 2.75- inch rockets, laser and radio frequency Hellfire missiles. The AH-64E is the Army's network-centric, multi-role weapon system within the Future Modular Force (FMF). It provides the capability to simultaneously conduct (or quickly transitionbetween) close combat, mobile strike, armed reconnaissance, manned-unmanned teaming, 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. The AH-64E enables the Joint Air/Ground 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. The AH-64E is linked to Joint and Combined Arms Air/Ground Maneuver Teams via Enhanced Digital Communications, Unmanned Aircraft Systems Data Links and Joint networking waveforms.
