The AH-64E Apache helicopter has proved highly effective in anti-drone tests, downing 13 of 14 drones using existing weapons. The tests confirm the aircraft’s evolving role as a multi-role counter-drone and battlefield sensor platform.

Learning Outcomes 

  • Describe the evolving role of the AH-64E Apache V6 to a multi-role air-defence and counter-drone system.
  • Analyse the effectiveness of Apache’s existing weapon systems in neutralizing drone threats without major upgrades.
  • Evaluate the technological enhancements in Apache V6 and their impact on battlefield integration and drone defence capabilities.
