The AH-64E Apache brings significant capability improvements that will enhance the lethality and tempo of land and amphibious force manoeuvres.
A network-centric, fully integrated weapon system specifically built to dominate in a highly contested and complex battle space, the AH-64E Apache includes multiple enhancements to the aircraft’s sensors, software and weapons performance.
The AH-64E Apache will be tightly integrated with uncrewed aerial systems and will be able to share tactical information with land forces as well as with joint and coalition air assets.
AH-64E Apache deliveries to Australia are expected to commence in late 2025. All 29 AH-64E Apache helicopters are scheduled for delivery by 2029.
The AH-64E Apache will be operated by the 1st Aviation Regiment in Townsville.
