Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Boeing AH-64 Apache is an attack helicopter developed in the United States of America since the early seventies. Use a main rotor and one tail, both with four blades. The helicopter is designed as a twin-engine two-seater in tandem, for use in anti-tank missions, assault, escort and fighter anti-helicopter, to be carried out in all weather conditions and light. The main armament consists of an automatic cannon M230 chain gun caliber 30 mm. It can be equipped with a combination of anti-tank missiles, rockets and air-to-air attached to the side flaps. The Apache is the primary attack helicopter of the US Army and the successor to the Bell AH-1 Cobra. It was designed by Hughes Helicopters to meet the requirements of the program "Helicopter Attack Advanced" (AAH) launched by the US Army in 1972. Later, the McDonnell Douglas acquired Hughes Helicopters and continued the development of the AH-64, AH-64D Apache getting the Longbow. After various corporate events, the project was awarded to Boeing Defense, Space & Security that continued production for the US requirements and for export to other countries. Apaches saw the first operational deployment in battle during the commitment of the US Army during the invasion of Panama in 1989. Other uses of war helicopter from the US Army were the 1991 Gulf War, the Kosovo war in 1999, the war in Afghanistan in 2001 and the war in Iraq 2003. The AH-64 Israelis have participated in all major military operations in his country since the nineties.

This book was released on 2012-11-20 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After the attacks on 11 September 2001, Apache units made significant contributions to the Coalition campaign against Taliban and al-Qaeda forces in Afghanistan. Functioning as the 'killer' part of US Army Hunter-killer teams, Apaches sought out and brought overwhelming firepower to bear on Taliban and al-Qaeda forces, as well as providing direct support to Coalition troops on the ground. Apaches spearheaded the advance of the 3rd Infantry and the 101st airborne divisions into Iraq, engaging in some of the heaviest fighting along the western axis of advance. Weather and enemy fire took a heavy toll on Apaches operating in Western Iraq, but the resilience and flexibility of the Apache was central to the success of this campaign.

Book excerpt: The Boeing AH-64 Apache, considered by many to be the world's premier armed helicopter, has been in service with the US Army for more than two decades. Designed principally as an antitank helicopter to combat large Soviet armored formations invading Western Europe, the Apache has had a major renaissance in recent years. Its stunning victories over Iraqi armor during Operation Desert Storm gave the Apache a well-deserved reputation as a tank killer second only to the A-10 in lethality. Yet again, in the mountains of Afghanistan, the Apache has returned to its roots, performing deep attack missions, convoy escort, and close combat attack in support of US troops on the ground, proving its versatility and effectiveness. A detailed look illustrated with more than 200 color photographs, color profiles and detailed line drawings.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuova edizione riveduta e aggiornata. Il Boeing AH-64 Apache è un elicottero d'attacco sviluppato negli Stati Uniti d'America a partire dagli anni settanta. Utilizza un rotore principale e uno di coda, entrambi a quattro pale. L'elicottero è stato concepito come bimotore biposto in tandem, per l'impiego in missioni anticarro, assalto, scorta e caccia anti-elicottero, da svolgere in ogni condizione di tempo e di luce. L'armamento principale è costituito da un cannone automatico M230 Chain Gun calibro 30 mm. Può venire equipaggiato con una combinazione di missili anticarro, razzi e missili aria-aria agganciati alle alette laterali. L'Apache è il principale elicottero d'attacco dell'esercito degli Stati Uniti e il successore del Bell AH-1 Cobra. Fu progettato dalla Hughes Helicopters per soddisfare i requisiti del programma "elicottero d'attacco avanzato" (in inglese AAH o Advanced Attack Helicopter) varato dall'U.S. Army nel 1972. In seguito, la McDonnell Douglas acquisì la Hughes Helicopters e continuò lo sviluppo dell'AH-64, ottenendo l'AH-64D Apache Longbow. Al termine di varie vicende societarie, il progetto è stato acquisito dalla Boeing Defense, Space & Security che ne continua la produzione per le esigenze statunitensi e per l'esportazione verso altri paesi. Gli Apache hanno visto il primo impiego operativo in battaglia in occasione dell'impegno dell'U.S. Army durante l'invasione di Panama del 1989. Altri impieghi bellici dell'elicottero da parte dell'esercito statunitense sono stati la Guerra del Golfo del 1991, la guerra del Kosovo nel 1999, la guerra in Afghanistan del 2001 e la guerra d'Iraq del 2003. Gli AH-64 israeliani hanno partecipato a tutte le principali operazioni militari del proprio paese a partire dagli anni novanta.

Book excerpt: Understanding past military technological successes is crucial to defense science and technology investment and management. This study is the second in a series that examines some of the key factors that have led to meaningful technology generation and ultimate incorporation into the U.S. Army weapons systems we see in the field today. The first report covered the development of the Abrams tank.1 Analysis of the development of the Javelin and Stinger missiles will follow. The results of all studies will be compiled in a wrap-up report that will include a look at the implications of the findings for today's science and technology environment.
