Increasingly Deadly Apache Helicopters with APKWS Hydra Rockets

The US AH-64D Apache attack helicopter successfully launched a rocket equipped with an Advanced Precision Kill Weapon System (APKWS) kit on a high-precision target. The APKWS kit enhances the ability to fire on a 2.75-inch (70 mm) rocket into a semi-active laser guided precision weapon. This system is a design conversion for a directionless Hydra 70 rocket that turns it into precision guided low-power ammunition to minimize additional damage to the target. The modular design of the APKWS kit allows the system to be paired with an existing rocket or a newly designed rocket, includes kits between motorbikes and warheads, and has completed more than 20 types of light and heavy fighter planes and helicopters. This system uses advanced seeker optics on four small wings that function after being fired. Distributed Aperture Semi-Active Laser Seek Technology (DASALS) allows four seeker systems placed on four small wings to work together as a unit. The manufacturing company, BAE claims APKWS is the most effective laser-guided ammunition in its class, enabling precision attack capability at a low price - a quarter of the price of a Brimstone missile. According to BAE, APKWS is designed to lock moving and stationary targets from a distance of more than 3 km (1.9 miles). This system has a minimum range of 1.5 km and a maximum of 5 km.
