    A group of AH-64E version 6 Apache helicopters depart the Boeing manufacturing facilities at Mesa, Ariz. 13 January 2021 bound for Joint Base Lewis-McChord (JBLM), Wash for delivery to the the 1-229th Attack Reconnaissance Battalion. The AH-64E Version 6.5 is the next version of the Apache Helicopter. Scheduled for first flight in the 2023, the technology enhancements will include upgrades in lethality, survivability, situational awareness, navigation, and communication. It also introduces an Open Systems Interface and paves the way for the eventual integration of the Improved Turbine Engine.
