South Korea is the 12th international customer to purchase the M-TADS/PNVS-equipped Apache attack helicopter. The contract includes 36 M-TADS/PNVS systems and spares, with production through 2018.
Electronics assembly of M-TADS/PNVS is performed at Lockheed Martin’s Ocala, Fla., facility. Final assembly is performed at Lockheed Martin’s facility in Orlando, Florida.
Fielded in 2005, M-TADS/PNVS is known as the eyes of the Apache. It provides pilots with long-range, precision engagement and pilotage capabilities for mission success and flight safety in day, night and adverse weather missions. Forward-looking infrared sensors provide enhanced image resolution that enables Apache aircrews to prosecute targets and provide situational awareness in support of ground troops outside detection ranges.
