British Army Apache helicopters to receive Arrowhead sighting and targeting systems

Article Abstract:

British Army Air Corps AH-64D Apache AH.1 attack helicopters would be equipped with the Arrowhead M-TADS/M-PNVS (Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Modernized Pilot Night Vision Sensor) by AgustaWestland. The Arrowhead sighting and targeting system would provide Apache pilots' greater situational awareness and combat effectiveness as well as enable a significant whole life cost savings to be generated over the operational life of the Apache.
