The AgustaWestland Apache WAH-64 is a British variant of the Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter. It was developed by AgustaWestland in collaboration with Boeing to meet the requirements of the British Army Air Corps. The WAH-64 differs from the AH-64 in several aspects, such as the use of Rolls-Royce Turbomeca engines, a new electronic defensive aids suite, a folding blade mechanism, and a more advanced Longbow radar.
The WAH-64 entered service with the British Army in 2004 and has been deployed in various operations, including Afghanistan and Libya. The WAH-64 is capable of performing a range of missions, such as anti-tank, close air support, escort, reconnaissance, and fire support. It can carry a variety of weapons, including Hellfire missiles, CRV7 rockets, and a 30 mm M230 chain gun. The WAH-64 has a crew of two: a pilot and a co-pilot/gunner. The WAH-64 is also compatible with the Apache Guardian system, which allows it to share data and control with other Apache helicopters and ground units.
