The Australian Army's first two AH-64E Apache Attack Helicopters were delivered to the 16th Aviation Brigade at RAAF Base Townsville on Sunday 28 September 2025.

Defence is acquiring a fleet of 29 AH- 64E Apache Attack Helicopters through a Foreign Military Sales case with the United States as part of the Project Land 4503 Apache Attack Helicopter.

The AH-64E Apache will replace the Tiger Armed Reconnaissance Helicopter, bringing significant capability improvements that will enhance the lethality and tempo of land and amphibious force manoeuvres.
