The AH-1Z fields a wide range of air-to-ground weapons to destroy enemy threats along while providing unparalleled situational awareness.
This allows the AH-1Z to provide fire support where and when it's
needed most.

Caractéristiques

Amphibious Capability

The Bell AH-1Z will enable the Republic of Korea Marine Corps to operate from land bases or amphibious assault ships and execute the mission in any environment across the full spectrum of military operations. The aircraft is highly effective in both the counter-armor and anti-personnel roles and will offer unparalleled flexibility to support the Corps' scheme of maneuver.

Marinization

Built using corrosion-resistant materials, the AH-1Z is fully marinized to prevent corrosion of critical components, including the drivetrain, airframe structure and avionics. The aircraft's design resists intrusion from sea water, salt, sand and dust and enables more aircraft to be ready for combat missions while operating for prolonged periods in littoral areas.

Operational Advantage

The Bell AH-1Z is the only helicopter equipped with the AIM-9 Sidewinder - the world's premier infrared air-to-air intercept missile, used worldwide by the U.S. and its allies. Its Targeting Sight System (TSS) allows for day and night operation and is the most advanced targeting system in use in U.S. attack helicopters. Finally, the aircraft can be equipped with the Joint Air to Ground Missile (JAGM), a multi-sensor and guided munition to target land and sea enemies.

Interoperability

Both the Bell AH-1Z and USMC F-35B Lightning have demonstrated the ability to pair their advanced capabilities in land and sea operations with Marine Expeditionary Units in the Pacific. With Link 16 providing the cutting-edge digital interoperability, the AH-1Z will support other military weapons systems in air-to-air missions or aid ground forces in the maritime environment.

High Readiness at a Lower Cost

This premier attack aircraft offers up to 30% lower acquisition and life cycle costs than any other marinized attack helicopter offering. With a reduced logistics footprint, the Bell AH-1Z delivers an economical and efficient solution for military forces.
