From the AH-64A in 1984 to today’s AH-64E, one thing about the Apache hasn’t changed: its reputation as the world’s most advanced and proven attack helicopter.
The AH-64 Apache represents the backbone of the U.S. Army’s attack helicopter fleet and has accumulated over 5.3 million flight-hours, more than 1.3 million of which have been in combat. With more than 1,300 aircraft in operation around the globe, it is the attack helicopter of choice for 19 countries and counting.
With the AH-64E in production into the 2030s, the Apache will serve the U.S. Army and its partner nations as the world’s primary attack helicopter into the 2060s. As Boeing and the U.S. Army continue to invest in the latest technologies, the next evolution of the Apache brings an Open Systems Approach to integrate new capabilities like Launched Effects and enhance teaming with autonomous systems for greater interoperability.
