AH-64E Apache Longbow

 

Program Status: Under Development
IOC: October 2011
First Flight: 11 July 2008
Total Production: 223
Unitary Cost: USD$41 million
Total Cost: USD$14 billion
Also Known As: AB3 (Apache Block III), AB3A (Apache Block III A - remanufactured aircraft), AB3B (Apache Block III B - New build aircraft), AH-640 (Taiwan variant), AH-64E and Block III AH-64D Apache Longbow

Origin: United States of America

Contractor/s: Boeing* and KAI Korea Aerospace Industries (fuselage)

Description: The AH-64 Apache is a twin-turbine engine, armored, attack helicopter was designed to defeat the most advanced main battle tanks at standoff ranges. It employs a combination of advanced sensors and Hellfire anti-tank missiles (up to 16), as well as a 30mm nose-mounted M230 chain gun (1,200 rounds) and 70mm (up to 76) unguided rockets. It is capable of operation at night, in darkness, and in adverse weather, even in presence of obscurants. The M230 chain gun fires M788 30mm target practice rounds and M848 30mm dummy ammunition during training.

In 1991 the AH-64As played a vital role destroying Iraqi armored battle tanks stationary and moving. They were deployed for the first time in Panama during operation Just Cause in 1989 and subsequently in other military campaigns with less impact than during the Gulf War. Recently, during operation Iraqi Freedom they provided close air support to American armored units while they were deploying throughout Iraq.

The AH-64D Apache Longbow is the last improved derivative of the combat-proven AH-64A Apache attack helicopter. The Longbow radar is the only difference between the AH-64D and the Apache Longbow helicopter. It features 400% more lethality over current AH-64As, 720% more survivable, can hit moving and stationary targets in presence of obscurants when optical systems are rendered ineffective, can use multiple sensors, the Longbow radar detects and classifies up to 128 targets prioritizing the 16 most dangerous of them, and only needs 3.4 hours-man of maintenance per flight hour. It is compatible with the digitized battlefield of the 21st century.

Following the RAH-66 Comanche cancellation in February 2004, the US Army selected the Apache as the attack helicopter for the objective force associated with the Future Combat Systems (FCS) program. This decision will keep the Apache Longbow in active service for the next three decades. The next round of Apache enhancements, sometimes referred to as Block III, will include a new composite rotor blade, JTRS radio system, improved drive system, and cognitive decision-aiding software.

The Block III AH-64D Apache Longbow combat helicopter Research, Development, Test and Evaluation (RDT&E) contract was signed on 28 June 2005 in Washington D.C.; Huntsville, Alabama; and Mesa, Arizona. Follow-on engineering and production contracts were anticipated by the US Army. Production of new Block III Apaches was planned to begin by 2010 when the current Apache models production work will expire.

Overall, Block III Apache is a combination of 25 technologies aimed at enhancing crew effectiveness in battle while reducing operations and support costs. Those technologies insertion will provide Network-Centric warfare capabilities in the multi-role combat helicopter for the Army�s future force. To enable battlespace dominance, the program will incorporate open systems architecture, wideband network communications, extended range sensing, level IV unmanned aerial vehicle control, extended range fire control radar, extended range missiles, and data fusion to merge off- and on-board sensor imagery.

In addition, the Block III Apache Longbow will interface with Stryker Brigade Combat Teams and Future Combat Systems with a fully compatible and rapidly reconfigurable open systems architecture mission processor design. Other key benefits to the US Army include a reduced logistics footprint, and improved readiness and deployability.

In July 2006, the US Army and Boeing signed a $619 million contract covering Block III AH-64D Apache Longbow program System Development and Demonstration (SDD). Under the terms of the SDD contract the US Army will see the first production Block III Apache in 2011.

Parent system is the AH-64 Apache
IOC: 1984
Total Production: 1,484
Other Family Members: AH-64A Apache, AH-64D Apache and AH-64D Apache Longbow

Transactions: There are 19 transactions involving 274 items for AH-64 Apache from 1993 to 2017 and 2 transactions involving 38 items for the AH-64E Apache Longbow view report

Boeing Apache AH-64D Block III
Two high-performance turbo-shaft engines and maximum cruise speed of 284 kph
Laser, infrared, and other systems (including target acquisition designation sight/pilot night vision sensor) to locate, track and attack targets
A combination of laser-guided precision Hellfire missiles, 70mm rockets, and a 30mm automatic cannon with up to 1,200 high-explosive, dual-purpose ammunition rounds

It incorporates 26 key new-technology insertions that cover flight performance, maintenance costs, sensors & electronics, and even the ability to control UAVs as part of manned-unmanned teaming (MUT).

Key AH-64D Apache Longbow features include the Lockheed Martin/Northrop Grumman (Longbow LLC) AN/APG-78 Fire Control Radar, which has a very low probability of intercept. The radar automatically searches, detects, locates, classifies, and prioritizes fixed and moving targets on land, see and in the air in all weather environments and battlefield conditions.


The Apache Longbow is equipped with an M230 30mm chain gun, which fires 625 high-explosive dual-purpose rounds a minute with a capacity of 1,200 rounds in total.


16 Hellfire missiles for anti-armor missions (4x four-rail launchers) or 8 Hellfire missiles (2x four-rail launchers) and two Hydra-70 rocket pods with 19 rockets each.


Notably, the US is known to have much better Electronic Warfare capability than perhaps any other nation. The Apache can detect 256 moving targets in speed, distance and direction and engage them as required.

The twin-engine tandem seat Apache is operated by two pilots, and can execute an attack within 30 seconds of an alert. It is equipped with Northrop Grumman's highly sophisticated millimeter wave Longbow fire control radar and Lockheed Martin's Hellfire and Raytheon's Stinger missiles. The Block III is the latest version being delivered to the US Army from this year. Apache has a strong shell made of composite fibres to protect the pilots from bullets.

US is offering 245 Stinger missiles to India as part of a weapons package for the Apache attack choppers being acquired by the Air Force.

''245 air-to-air Stinger missiles and 56 launchers are included in the weapons package for the Apache helicopters," officials of Raytheon, which manufactures the missiles, said.

''The Stinger compliments the advanced performance of the Apache by providing the IAF with the critical air-to-air defence capability," they said.

India has selected the American Apache helicopter for its requirement of 22 attack helicopters which will have both air-to-ground and air-to-air roles in the service.

美國波音公司將加速生產阿帕契AH-64E系列
分類：環球軍聞與國際情勢
2012/10/28 08:00


海峽國際網    10/27   2012    整理報導

根據美國的AVIATION WEEK媒體報導27日指出，美國陸軍已正式指定把阿帕契直升機AH-64E型為最新型號，波音公司與軍方打算發出一份合約將開始加緊速度生產製造。

這項全速率生產製造將會是美國陸軍從Block I到Block II投入製造以來最重大的決定，陸軍上校傑夫‧海格(Jeff Hager)表示，每年將會以48架次銷往國外，而美國陸軍將添購480架次。

去年11月第一架AH-64E交付給美國陸軍後，每隔月在亞利桑那州廠生產交付給美軍，但生產進度和數量細節將會和軍方進行協商，國際各個買主開始 對此產品感到興趣，尤其以台灣為例，將在明年2013年成軍，已經派遣種子教官至美國訓練，而將會是以AH-64E做交付型號。美國陸軍已經知會國會，交 付給印尼八架，卡達24架，印度22架，南韓雖然也向美方尋求36架，但將會面對AH-1Z的選擇。

【新唐人2013年01月12日訊】（中央社記者陳培煌台北12日電）美售台長弓阿帕契攻擊直升機案（AH-64E），首批6架規劃10月返台，未來服役結合原有攻擊與戰搜直升機，可構成陸航部隊黃金鐵三角。

 

台灣向美國購買30架長弓阿帕契攻擊直升機（AH-64E）總金額達新台幣593億1000萬元，這批軍售是前美國總統布希（George W. Bush）政府於2008年宣布售台；直升機從今年開始將分批陸續返台，預計民國103年7月可全數交運完畢。

這項軍購案在民國99年10月29日發包，由波音公司（The Boeing Company）生產；首架AH-64E去年在美國交機，陸軍司令李翔宙上將親赴美國主持接機儀式，並且搭機試飛，國軍的種子教官與維保人員也早已抵美受訓。

阿帕契是美軍在阿富汗、伊拉克戰場的要角，歷來有A、B、C、D等衍生型，E型則是總結戰場經驗後的最新產品。

AH-64E不但具有強大攻擊能力，並且可做為戰場管理平台，同時指揮多架無人飛機，把直升機的性能提升到前所未有的地步。

美國陸軍2011年底開始接收第一架AH-64E，軍方人士指出，台灣將是除美國陸軍以外，首個使用最新型號的國家。

AH-64E曾被軍事雜誌譽為「全球唯一的第4代攻擊直升機」，根據資料顯示，阿帕契配備長弓毫米波雷達，可在低能見度狀況下發揮優良的性能；AH-64E的雷達系統位置較高，使機身可以藏匿於掩蔽物後方進行偵測與攻擊。

另外，AH-64E還包括新葉片可減少噪音並提升巡航速度、爬升能力、載重；以及新的夜視系統使飛機的偵搜能力大增等20多項改良成果。

資料顯示，AH-64E的最大起飛重量為10噸，最高時速365公里，巡航時速265公里，戰鬥半徑480公里；機上有30公釐機砲，備彈1200發，可掛載16枚地獄火飛彈及4枚空對空飛彈，並依任務需要，選擇不同的武器掛載，如AIM-92刺針、AIM-9響尾蛇、BGM-71拖式等型飛彈。
