The AH-64D Longbow Apache is the US ArmyÆs front line attack helicopter. Specifically designed to use Hellfire guided missiles in the anti-armor role, it has developed into a premier multi-purpose ground attack platform whose capabilities have been highlighted in Operations Just Cause and Desert Storm, as well as other peacekeeping deployments and operational exercises. The Longbow Apache takes advantage of a mast-mounted radar to detect, acquire, and destroy its targets on the battlefield while remaining safely hidden behind intervening terrain and obstacles.%n
