Israel cuts short Apache upgrade
Arie Egozi in Mesa & St Louis
The Israeli air force has put on hold plans to extend an upgrade to its Boeing AH-64A Apache attack helicopter fleet, but is considering proposals from the US company to further extend the operating range of its 25 F-15I strike aircraft.
Israel, which operates 47 Apaches, signed a contract in 2000 under which Boeing will remanufacture an initial 18 of its A-model helicopters to the AH-64D Apache Longbow standard – dubbed the Saraf in Israeli service. A subsequent letter of intent added an additional six aircraft to the programme, but Israel recently informed Boeing that it has re-evaluated the project and removed the additional platforms.
Boeing is encouraging Israel to reconsider its decision, arguing it could make it harder to maintain Israel¡¯s older helicopters or to introduce new technologies to the fleet in the future. ¡°We made this clear to the Israeli air force and hope that they will come back to the original programme,¡± says Thomas Cunningham, manager of international rotorcraft business development.
Israel is expected to make a decision on whether to reinstate the six aircraft by the end of this year. Its last helicopters covered by the 2000 remanufacturing deal are now being modified at Boeing¡¯s Mesa plant in Arizona.
Meanwhile, the air force continues to evaluate enhancements to its F-15I fleet, including the possible acquisition of additional aircraft.
A range increase is now being evaluated, says Charles Van Gordon, manager of Boeing¡¯s F-15 foreign military sales programmes. ¡°Bigger conformal [fuel] tanks is one option, but not the only one.¡±
Another measure to increase the type¡¯s range could involve design changes to the F-15I¡¯s wing, Van Gordon says. ¡°We talk with the Israeli air force on a daily basis and study their operational needs.¡± Israel continues to assess a follow-on order for the type, and recent deals to supply F-15s to Singapore and South Korea have provided Boeing more time to close a deal.
