technology updates and insertions at
regular intervals to ensure it remains the most
capable, multi-role attack helicopter in the world. With
companies like Duotech that have capabilities to extend the life
of the AH-64 by repairing its aging and obsolete systems, this
multi-role attack helicopter will remain in service for countries
around the world for years to come.
