AH-64D Apache

The AH-64D Apache (Block II) is an improved derivative of the combat-proven AH-64A Apache attack helicopter. It features 400% more lethality over current AH-64As, 720 percent more survivable, can hit moving and stationary targets in presence of obscurants when optical systems are rendered ineffective, and only needs 3.4 hours-man of maintenance per flight hour. It can accommodate up to four Stinger air-to-air missiles for self-defense purposes. The Apache Block II is compatible with the digitized battlefield of the 21st century. The AH-64D Apache attack helicopter entered service in 1998. In late 1990s, the Netherlands purchased 30 new-built AH-64Ds. In 2000, Egypt launched a $400 million modernization program to upgrade existing -64A models to -64D standard. In August 2001, The Japan Defense Agency (JDA) selected the AH-64D Apache attack helicopter for the land arm of Japanese Defense Force (JDF). The deal includes between 60 and 80 AH-64Ds powered by General Electric T700-GE-701C engines and up to 23 Longbow fire control radars. The aircraft and related equipment will be procured for 10-year period with final assembly to be carried out in Japan under a licensed production program.
