The Department of the Army Aviation and Missile Command awarded a $4.685 billion definitive contract to The Boeing Company for design, manufacture, and delivery of 96 AH-64E Apache attack helicopters for Poland, 8 for Kuwait, and 2 for Egypt, including Longbow Crew Trainer simulators, on November 25, 2025, with an ultimate completion date of May 30, 2032.
This firm fixed-price foreign military sale contract represents a major production commitment for new-build AH-64E platforms and associated components and accessories. Place of performance is Mesa, Arizona. The contract encompasses full airframe manufacturing, systems integration, component procurement, and crew training system delivery across the six-year performance span.
Boeing executes this prime responsibility through a deep subcontractor network reflecting the Apache platform's complexity. Named subcontractors include Rockmart Fuel Containment (fuel cells and containment systems), Parker Hannifin (hydraulic and electromechanical systems), L3 Technologies Communication Systems-West (tactical communications equipment), Honeywell International Aerospace divisions at Tempe and Torrance (electromechanical components and thermal systems), Moog Inc. (servo valves and motion control systems), GE Aviation (avionics and flight data systems), Times Microwave Systems (RF interconnects and cable assemblies), and a multi-vendor ecosystem of smaller component suppliers including PCX Aerostructures, Triumph Gear Systems, Precision Defense Services, and specialized manufacturers for common aerospace commodities, purchased outside production, and non-production support.
The subcontractor footprint spans fuel containment and structural composites, hydraulic and fluid systems, avionics and communications, propulsion support, electrical interconnects, and precision machining across airframe manufacturing, electra-hydra-mechanical integration, major structures, and trainer production.
