US Army Tests ALTIUS-700 On Apache Helicopters
The US Army recently tested Anduril Industries' ALTIUS-700 medium-range launched effect from an AH-64 Apache at Yuma Proving Ground during a Cross Domain Fires experiment. The munition, described as a loitering weapon with a 460-kilometer range and roughly four hours endurance and Hellfire-sized payload, demonstrated precision targeting against large and armored targets, extending sensing and strike range for manned platforms.
Key Points
- 1Demonstrates firing of ALTIUS-700 MR-LE from AH-64 Apache at Yuma Proving Ground.
- 2Highlights 460 km range and four-hour endurance enabling deep sensing and strike beyond current stand-off ranges.
- 3Enables commanders to employ stand-off hunter-killer effects, reducing troop exposure and expanding engagement envelope.
