An advanced, multi-mission variant of the AH-64 Apache, the AH-64D Longbow features fully-integrated avionics and weapons, as well as an advanced modem that transmits real-time, secure, digitised battlefield information to air and ground forces.

Powered by two GE T700-701D engines, the AH-64 Apache is primarily used for distributed operations, deep precision strikes against relocatable targets, and providing armed reconnaissance when required in day, night, obscured battlefield and adverse weather conditions.
