This update yesterday
US Army finalises AH-64, CH-47 and UH-60 transactions

18 April, 2016/James Drew/Washington DC

A $1.5 billion deal with Boeing for 117 remanufactured AH-64 Apache gunships tops the list of big-ticket helicopter contracts awarded by the US government in the past fortnight. Other deals include Boeing CH-47Fs for the Netherlands and Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawks for Mexico.

The US Army announced a $923 million transaction with Boeing on 7 April as part of its Lot 5 and 6 remanufacturing programme, and the manufacturer clarified last week that the total contract value is $1.5 billion and includes more Longbow flight simulators, logistical support and spare parts.

The army is acquiring a mix of 690 new-build Apaches and remanufactured D-models updated to the E-model “Guardian” configuration, of which 290 have now been ordered through Boeing’s plant in Mesa, Arizona. The AH-64E is said to be more powerful, reliable and versatile than its “Longbow” predecessor with an improved drive system, composite main rotor blades and 2,000shp-class General Electric T700-701D engines. The missile and rocket-carrying gunship is also interoperable with the US Army MQ-1C Grey Eagle and RQ-7B Shadow unmanned aerial systems.
