Although it was based on the mechanical components parts of the AH-64E Guardian, many of them them have been were enhanced to allow for the future integration use of the T901-GE-900 engine, which is intended to replace the T700-GE-701.
The main rotor will be redesigned to withstand significantly much greater stresses. The helicopter will also feature newly designed main and tail rotor blades.
The helicopter is designed with an open software architecture to facilitate the rapid integration and standards to respond to the immediate certification of new weapons and technologies, such as new generation electro-optical systems and the ability to carry and launch unmanned systems.
All U.S. Army AH-64E Guardian helicopters are scheduled to be upgraded to the AH-64E V.6 level. The helicopter continues to evolve to this day and is expected to remain in active service until 2048.
