Apache Modernization
Apache will remain the Army attack helicopter until at least 2060 per U.S.
Army Equipment Modernization Plan
• Current Block III/64E program
– Apache Block III fielding through 2025
– Follow-on block upgrades required to address future capabilities gaps
• Future Vertical Lift (FVL) Utility variant planned IOC in 2034,
Attack variant IOC 2044?
• FVL Attack variant may not have an effective operational capability until 2048+
20+ year gap (2025 to 2048 current AH-64E plan) in effective operational
attack capability

Apache Modernization
Working with Apache PM on Next Gen Apache
• Operational analysis
• Shaping requirements
– TRADOC Capabilities Manager, Recon/Atk
– PM Apache

Promote the use of key technologies developed for FVL and

implement on Apache first (Fire Control Advanced
Programs)
• Next Gen FLIR Night Sensor Assembly
• Open Architecture Processor

ID/IQ 101
What is an Indefinite Quantity/Indefinite Delivery (ID/IQ) contract?
• A flexible contract with stated limits and ordering terms/time periods
• Provides for an indefinite quantity of supplies or services furnished on an indefinite
delivery schedule
• Limits stated in terms of number of units or dollars
When ID/IQ contracts are used
• The requirement for supplies and/or services is recurring, but the exact times and/or
exact quantities of future deliveries are not known at the time of contract award
How an ID/IQ contract helps our Agility
• Provides range pricing across multiple years to support any customer funding that
becomes available; significantly reduces time to award
– We need similar agreements in terms of pricing with our supply base for the life of the
ID/IQ and well as an extended ordering period (cumulative ordering period)
• Use the pre-negotiated contract terms and conditions to accelerate award timelines
