South Korea has announced a programme to upgrade its fleet of AH-64E Apache Guardian attack helicopters to the latest Version 6 (V6) standard.

In an announcement, the Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA) said on 2 September that the Defense Project Promotion Committee has decided to allocate KRW400 billion (USD291.66 million) to upgrade the fleet. The upgrade will take place between 2023 and 2027, DAPA added.

Speaking to Janes , the agency specified that the “Apaches will be upgraded to Version 6”. The agency declined to specify the current version of the AH-64E operated by the South Korean army.

The upgrade to V6 will substantially enhance the combat capabilities of 36 AH‐64E Apaches in service with the South Korean army. The upgrades will likely increase the number of targets that the attack helicopter's fire-control radar can simultaneously handle.
