Label 2:

Boeing AH-64D Apache Longbow

The AH-64D, the latest rotorcraft to enter the U.S. Army's inventory, is the most potent attack helicopter on today's battlefield. The combination of the AN/APG-78 Longbow millimeter-wave radar and "fire-and-forget" Hellfire missiles give the proven Apache airframe the unprecedented ability to find and strike targets beyond visual range in night and the most challenging weather conditions. The Apache first flew in 1975 and entered service in 1985. Since then, the Apache has seen combat in Panama, the 1991 Gulf War, Somalia, and Bosnia. During recent operations in Afghanistan, the AH-64's armor and rugged construction allowed it to engage in intense close-quarter combat without losses.
