FEATURES: The Apache is a state-of-the-art attack helicopter capable of defeating a wide range of targets, including all armored vehicles. This helicopter, which is capable of performing its mission at night and under adverse weather conditions, provides direct aerial fire as an integral element of ground units. Armed with laser-designated Hellfire missiles, 30mm cannon and Hydra 70 rockets, the Apache can direct highly mobile and effective firepower against the enemy. Its Target Acquisition Designation Sight (TADS) and Pilot Night Vision Sensor (PNVS) provide day and night laser designation of targets and infrared night vision for both the pilot and the copilot/gunner.
BACKGROUND: The Apache was acquired by the Army in 1986. The Army has 28 battalions equipped with the Apache and expects to have a total of 37 battalions equipped by FY95. Of the 811 Apaches ordered, 729 have been delivered. The last delivery is expected in FY95.
