  Army Aviation Capabilities and Characteristics
  AH-64D/E APACHE CHARACTERISTICS
  5-1. The AH-64D/E Apache helicopter is a twin-engine, tandem-seat, aerial weapons platform capable of
  performing attack, movement to contact, reconnaissance, and security operations. The combination of
  sensors and armament systems the AH-64 employs allows the ground maneuver commander to gain a
  position of relative advantage. Figure 5-1 and table 5-1 depict basic characteristics and dimensions of the
  Apache. The AH-64D/E can mount several various types of assemblies to the aircraft mast above the rotor
  system. The Longbow fire control radar is a battlefield radar system capable of detecting, locating, and
  classifying ground and airborne targets. The fire control radar augments the helicopter’s weapon delivery
  capability through the use of a target acquisition logic, coupled with radar-guided Hellfire missiles. The
  Apache can also mount various assemblies to enable reception of video signals from other platforms,
  including UAS, and enhanced MUM-T operations. More information can be found in appropriate technical
  manuals.
