7 Current Modifications M-TADS / M-PNVS Improved visual acuity Internal boresight eliminating need for out front boresight 2 Level Maintenance Improved Fault Isolation During IBIT Enhanced targeting Improved reliability ARC 231 SATCOM UHF and NLOS SATCOM Enhance Communications in Combat Multi Band Secure Voice Data & Imagery Capable Light Weight Missile Launcher AGM-114 Hellfire compatible Composite hardback Composite Rails 40 lb reduction CMWS I4S / 5S Common Missile Warning System Multiple-Threat Response Reports Information Visually and Audibly Warning and Decoy Dispensing MSPU Automated Rotor Track and Balance (RTB) 14 Sensors & 4 Tach s monitor 53 components with 300+ Condition Indicators Canopy Defog Eliminate Safety Issue Prevent Cockpit Fogging Mixes heated air with conditioned air 7

8 Future Modifications MUMT-2 Provides Level 2 interoperability w/ UAS Provides ground CDRs with Apache sensor video Integrated, encrypted system Air to Air capability Reduces sensor to shooter times GFAS Detects, Classifies & Locates Weapon Fires in Real-Time Detects ball, tracer, and RPG rounds out to max effective range of detected weapon systems ITEP 3000 shp engine More fuel efficient Currently AATD conducting design competition Composite Vertical Stabilator 23 lb weight reduction shifts aircraft CG forward No elastomeric mounts 80% part reduction Composite Tail Rotor Blade 15% increase in control margins Designed for repairs Erosion resistance Increased damage tolerance MDSA High Resolution Color Camera Cost avoidance of $98.2M through 2017 Improves system reliability 3-4 times Composite Tailboom 45 lb weight reduction shifts aircraft CG forward Increased Strength Supports increased loading, improved drivetrain 80-90% part reduction 8

9 Current Capability Gaps: Computer processing maximized Limited network interoperability Manned/Unmanned teaming potential Software not open-architecture Power limited drive system High/hot capability Std day payload limitations No integrated IFR/IMC solution Current Sustainment Challenges: Airframe life extension Obsolescence (mechanical and electrical) Aircraft bus architecture Closed, proprietary software Not CBM / CLOE capable Apache Block III (AB3) How Block III Changes the Fight: - 6K/95 OGE hover performance with a full mission load (threshold) - Restores A-Model performance lost due to D-Model weight increases - Manned/Unmanned (MUM) Teaming via Level IV UAS control - Joint interoperability Link 16 via JTRS - New fuselages will extend serviceable life and reduce O&S costs Acronyms: AH-64A BLOCK Block I I AH-64D Longbow BLOCK Block II II Block III is the best value sustainment plan for Apache that overcomes capability gaps and satisfies user requirements! IMC/IFR: Instrument Flight Rules / Instrument Meteorological Conditions UAS: Unmanned Aircraft System JTRS: Joint Tactical Radio System CBM/CLOE: Condition Based Maintenance / Common Logistics Operating Environment O&S: Operating and Sustainment BLOCK III Operational Enhancements: - Increased Performance - Joint Interoperability - Increased Computer Processing - Improved Survivability - Improved Situational Awareness - Increased Lethality - Targeting/Fratricide Prevention - Improved Sustainability 9
