More intelligent, integrated and lethal are the best characteristics to describe Australia’s new AH-64E Apache attack helicopters
Under the LAND 4503 Phase 1 Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter Replacement program, Australia will acquire 29 Boeing Defence Australia-manufactured AH-64E Apache attack helicopters to replace its ageing ARH Tiger attack helicopter fleet as the country’s future attack helicopter.
It’s understood that the first fuselages are already underway at Boeing production facilities and the initial four aircraft are expected to be delivered by the end of this year. Under the program, Australia will become the 18th global customer to operate the attack helicopter.
