AH-64 Apache (Boeing / AgustaWestland)

The Australian Army revealed on 29 July 2025 their first Boeing AH-64E Apache attack helicopter.

The first 4 of 29 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters are progressing through the final assembly line in Mesa, Arizona – due for delivery later this year.
Replacing the Tiger armed reconnaissance helicopters – the Apaches bring significant capability improvements that will enhance the lethality and tempo of land and amphibious forces.

Van valami fejlemény az AH-64E modellek korszerűsítéséről? Az új GE T901-es, ami az ATEC (Honeywell / Pratt&Whittney) T900-asával szemben elnyerte az Apache flotta remotorizációs programját, elvileg 2025 után kerül leszállításra, de nem látom, hogy ezt még mindig tényleg komolyan gondolják-e?

Boeing floats next-generation F-model Apache as ITEP fall back - Breaking Defense

“We are ready to respond either way” if the Improved Turbine Engine Program is cut or goes ahead, Terry Jamison, director of attack helicopter programs at Boeing, told Breaking Defense.
breakingdefense.com breakingdefense.com

Semmi új, csak a szokásos.
Lefutott az ITEP program, a GE megnyerte a T901-el, ez ment volna az AH-64F-be és a modernizált UH-60-asba.
Erre most a US Army törli a programot, indok a szokásos: túl sok költség, túl sok csúszás.
Az USA-ban valahogy mindig a verseny leintése után diszkvalifikálnak és rendre az egész futamot. Mindenkit.
Most derült ki, hogy csúszik a program?
Most derült ki, hogy drága?

A Boeing most megpróbál kompozit elemekkel tömegcsökkentést felajánlani, ha már nem kap több lóerőt a forgószárnyra.
Itt tenném fel a kérdést, hogy értem én, hogy mindenkit jól kell lakatni, de miért nem ezzel kezdték?
Előbb egy megvalósíthatósági tanulmány a költséghatékony tömegcsökkentésre a reülőgépgyártóknak és csak azután az ITEP tender a hajtóműveseknek.
Költői kérdés...

WASHINGTON, January 30, 2026

The State Department has made a determination approving a possible Foreign Military Sale to the Government of Israel of AH-64E Apache Helicopters and related equipment for an estimated cost of $3.8 billion. The Defense Security Cooperation Agency delivered the required certification notifying Congress.

The Government of Israel has requested to buy thirty (30) AH-64E Apache attack helicopters; seventy (70) T700-GE 701D engines (60 installed, 10 spares); thirty (30) AN/ASQ-170 Modernized Target Acquisition and Designation Sight/AN/AAR-11 Modernized Pilot Night Vision Sensors (M-TADS/PNVS); one (1) M-TADS/PNVS in support of Special Repair Activity (SRA); thirty (30) AN/APG-78 Longbow Fire Control Radars (FCR) Mast Mounted Assembly (MMA); one (1) FCR MMA in support of SRA; thirty (30) Longbow Fire Control Radar (FCR) Radar Electronic Units (REU); one (1) Longbow FCR REU in support of SRA; thirty (30) AN/APR-48B Modernized Radar Frequency Interferometers (MRFI); six (6) MRFI maintenance floats; thirty (30) AN/AAR-57 with 5th Sensor Common Missile Warning Systems (CMWS); four (4) AN/AAR-57 with 5th Sensor CMWS maintenance floats; thirty(30) AN/ARC-231A (RT-1987) Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency (VHF/UHF) radios; six (6) AN/ARC-231A (RT-1987) Very High Frequency/Ultra High Frequency (VHF/UHF) radios maintenance floats; sixty (60) M36E8 Captive Air Training Missiles (CATM); seventy-two (72) Embedded Global Positioning System/Inertial Navigation Systems with M-code (EAGLE-M) and Multi-Mode Receiver (MMR); thirty-six (36) Common Infrared Countermeasure Systems. The following non-Major Defense Equipment items will also be included: Enhanced Image Intensifier (EI2) cameras; Radar Signal Detecting Sets; Laser Detecting Sets; AN/APX-123A Identification Friend or Foe (IFF) transponders; AN/APR-39 Radar Warning Receiver Signal Detecting Set Improved Data Modems; AN/AVR-2B Laser Warning Set, M299 Missile Launcher, M261 2.75 Inch Rocket Launcher, Small Tactical Terminals; improved countermeasures dispensing systems (ICMD); automatic direction finders; Doppler radar velocity sensors; radar altimeters common core (RACC); tactical air navigation system (TACAN); Global Positioning System receivers; simple key loader; Advanced Weapon System Automatic Machine Guns; rocket launchers; missile launchers; Manned-Unmanned Teaming (MUMT) Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) receiver; MUMT air-air-ground kits; air to ground network radios; transponder test sets; KIV-77 assets; Cartridge Actuated Devices/Propellant Actuated Devices (CAD/PAD); Small Tactical Terminal KOR-24A for Link-16; Longbow Crew Trainer (LCT); tactical engagement simulation (TESS); Maintenance Training Device (MTD); training devices; communication systems; helmets; simulators; generators; aircrew survivability equipment; transportation and organization equipment; spare and repair parts; support equipment; tools and test equipment; technical data and publications; personnel training and training equipment; U.S. Government and contractor technical assistance; technical and logistics support services; and other related elements of program and logistical support. The estimated total cost is $3.8 billion.

The United States is committed to the security of Israel, and it is vital to U.S. national interests to assist Israel to develop and maintain a strong and ready self-defense capability. This proposed sale is consistent with those objectives.

The proposed sale will enhance Israel’s capability to meet current and future threats by improving its ability to defend Israel’s borders, vital infrastructure, and population centers. This proposed sale will increase interoperability with U.S. forces and conveys U.S. commitment to Israel's security and armed forces modernization. Israel will have no difficulty absorbing this equipment into its armed forces.

The proposed sale of this equipment and support will not alter the basic military balance in the region.

The principal contractors will be The Boeing Company, located in Arlington, VA; and Lockheed Martin, located in Orlando, FL. At this time, the U.S. government is not aware of any offset agreement proposed in connection with this potential sale. Any offset agreement will be defined in negotiations between the purchaser and the contractor.

Implementation of this proposed sale will require temporary duty travel of five to eight U.S. Government and contractor representatives to Israel for a duration of up to five years to support equipment fielding and training.

There will be no adverse impact on U.S. defense readiness as a result of this proposed sale.

The description and dollar value are for the highest estimated quantity and dollar value based on initial requirements. Actual dollar value will be lower depending on final requirements, budget authority, and signed sales agreement(s), if and when concluded.
