Reply to Media Queries on the RSAF's AH-64D Apache Attack Helicopters

The RSAF is equipping the AH-64D with new mission systems to enhance the helicopter's survivability and improve its mission capability. The upgrading programme involves equipping the AH-64D with a Helicopter Integrated Electronic Warfare System (HIEWS) to enhance survivability and SATCOM for more robust communications. MINDEF/SAF has always taken a rigorous and prudent approach in planning for our defence needs and will equip sufficient helicopters to meet Singapore's defence requirements. The upgrading programme is expected to complete over the next few years.
