It may be mentioned that the Air Force already has a fleet of 22 Apache helicopters, which have been deployed in Ladakh and western areas. The helicopter is capable of carrying a variety of weapons, including air-to-ground Hellfire missiles, 70 mm Hydra rockets and air-to-air Stinger missiles.
The Apache is equipped with a number of features including a 30mm chain gun with 1200 rounds as part of the regional weapon sub-system. To further enhance its lethality, the helicopter also has a fire control radar with 360° coverage and a nose mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems.
The AH-64E is the most modern configuration of the Apache and is ready for the MDO battlefield. A network-centric, fully integrated weapon system designed specifically to dominate a highly contested and complex battlefield, the AH-64E Version 6, or v6, Apache features numerous enhancements to the aircraft's sensors, software and weapons performance.
Apache is designed for interoperability within the Multi-Domain Operations (MDO) ecosystem. In the helicopter, the AH-64E v6 is a lethal, survivable and agile system that provides the reach, mobility and performance required by ground forces and contributes to the success of current and future joint missions.
The AH-64E v6 is a fully integrated, combat-optimized attack helicopter that is truly in a class of its own. It can deliver and integrate advanced capabilities through a layered effect of on-board and off-board sensors, stand-off long-range weapons, and the connectivity needed to utilize all the tools the ecosystem can bring.
