The contract also includes options for up to 46 systems and is estimated to be worth $290m if all options are exercised.
US Army Apache sensors product manager Lieutenant Colonel Steve Van Riper said, “These Arrowhead systems will provide AH-64D aviators with a combat-proven sensor capability required to support our soldiers and international allies around the world.”
The Arrowhead kit upgrades Apache’s infrared sensors and associated electronics and provides pilots with long-range, electro-optical precision engagement and pilotage capabilities under all-weather conditions.
The contract extends production for the base requirements to August 2013, and if all options are awarded it can be extended until January 2015.
