MRFI is designed to help detect and identify threats. It identifies intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) emitters and protects AH-64E Apache helicopter pilots from threats.

The system increases aircraft survivability and lethality.

“At Lockheed Martin, we continue to partner with our customers to modernise our forces and enhance their arsenal and capability readiness. We are extremely proud to offer this critical capability to the Apache warfighter.”
