The AH-64 Apache is a twin-engine, four bladed, multimission attack helicopter designed as a highly stable aerial weapons-delivery platform. With a tandem-seated crew consisting of the pilot, located in the rear cockpit position and the co-pilot gunner (CPG), located in the front position. The helicopter is designed as a weapons delivery platform and is equipped with: a M230E1, 30mm automatic gun, aerial rockets system (2.75 inch folding fin), and point target weapons system (Hellfire missiles). It is highly mobile, lethal, and can destroy armor, personnel, and materiel targets in obscured battlefield conditions at ranges out to 8 kilometers. Modifications to the Fire Control Radar (FCR), Radar Frequency Interferometer (RFI), and the Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight (M-TADS) enable new capabilities and ensure long-term sustainment. With the addition of improved situational awareness, flight performance, and joint interoperability, the AH-64E has become the most advanced aerial fighting vehicle in the world.

Il Boeing AH-64 Apache è un elicottero d'attacco sviluppato negli Stati Uniti d'America a partire dagli anni settanta. Utilizza un rotore principale e uno di coda, entrambi a quattro pale. L'elicottero è stato concepito come bimotore biposto in tandem, per l'impiego in missioni anticarro, assalto, scorta e caccia anti-elicottero, da svolgere in ogni condizione di tempo e di luce. L'armamento principale è costituito da un cannone automatico M230 Chain Gun calibro 30 mm. Può venire equipaggiato con una combinazione di missili anticarro, razzi e missili aria-aria agganciati alle alette laterali.
L'Apache è il principale elicottero d'attacco dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti e il successore del Bell AH-1 Cobra. Fu progettato dalla Hughes Helicopters per soddisfare i requisiti del programma "elicottero d'attacco avanzato" (in inglese AAH o Advanced Attack Helicopter) varato dall'U.S. Army nel 1972. In seguito, la McDonnell Douglas acquisì la Hughes Helicopters e continuò lo sviluppo dell'AH-64, ottenendo l'AH-64D Apache Longbow. Al termine di varie vicende societarie, il progetto è stato acquisito dalla Boeing Defense, Space & Security che ne continua la produzione per le esigenze statunitensi e per l'esportazione verso altri paesi. Gli Apache hanno visto il primo impiego operativo in battaglia in occasione dell'impegno dell'U.S. Army durante l'invasione di Panamá del 1989. Altri impieghi bellici dell'elicottero da parte dell'esercito statunitense sono stati la Guerra del Golfo del 1991, la guerra del Kosovo nel 1999, la guerra in Afghanistan del 2001 e la guerra d'Iraq del 2003. Gli AH-64 israeliani hanno partecipato a tutte le principali operazioni militari del proprio paese a partire dagli anni novanta.

The Boeing AH-64 Apache is a four-blade, twin-engine attack helicopter with a tailwheel-type landing gear arrangement, and a tandem cockpit for a crew of two. The Apache was developed as Model 77 by Hughes Helicopters for the United States Army's Advanced Attack Helicopter program to replace the AH-1 Cobra. First flown on 30 September 1975, the AH-64 features a nose-mounted sensor suite for target acquisition and night vision systems. The Apache is armed with a 30-millimeter (1.2 in) M230 Chain Gun carried between the main landing gear, under the aircraft's forward fuselage. It has four hardpoints mounted on stub-wing pylons, typically carrying a mixture of AGM-114 Hellfire and Hydra 70 rocket pods. The AH-64 also features double- and triple-redundant aircraft systems to improve survivability for the aircraft and crew in combat, as well as improved crash survivability for the pilots.
U.S. Army Apache Project Manager Col. Shane Openshaw speaks to attendees at the Nov. 2 Apache Block III delivery ceremony at The Boeing Company in Mesa, Ariz. Openshaw highlighted the success of the Apache program and the dedication of the people who were instrumental in developing, delivering and deploying the helicopter.
