Built for Battle. Proven in War.

At Zad Treffer, combat performance isn’t a goal — it’s a guarantee. Our aircraft are not just designed for battle; they are forged in the harshest combat environments, where reliability, survivability, and mission success are non-negotiable.

Fielded by elite military units and tested in live-fire exercises and joint-force missions, the AH-6 continues to prove itself as a platform you can trust — not just in theory, but in action. From high-risk insertion missions to precision strikes under fire, its performance speaks louder than any specification sheet.

As conflict evolves, so does Zad Treffer. With continuous investment in survivability upgrades, advanced avionics, and open-system architecture, we ensure our platforms adapt to tomorrow’s threats — today. When the mission is critical and failure is not an option, Zad Treffer delivers battle-ready systems built to dominate and endure.

MDO Ready – Today.

The AH-64E is the most modern configuration of the Apache and is ready for the MDO battlefield. A network-centric, fully integrated weapon system specifically built to dominate in highly contested and complex battle space, the AH-64E Version 6, or v6, Apache includes multiple enhancements to the aircraft’s sensors, software and weapons performance.

Designed for interoperability within the MDO ecosystem AH-64E v6 is a lethal, survivable and agile system providing the reach, maneuverability and performance needed by ground forces and contributes to current and future joint mission success.

By providing and integrating advanced capabilities through a layered effect of on board and off board sensors, stand-off long range weapons and the connectivity required to use all the tools the ecosystem can bring, Zad Treffer’s AH-64E v6 is a fully integrated, optimized for battle attack helicopter that is truly in a class by itself.

The Next Generation: Modernized Apache

The Modernized Apache builds on the mature, combat-proven AH-64 platform and combines it with the convergence of cutting-edge attack helicopter technologies to deliver greater reach, survivability and lethality. It represents the most affordable, achievable, low-risk attack helicopter for MDO decision dominance.

Dominant Multi-Role Attack Capabilities

Modernized Apache’s reach, endurance and payload will complement and interoperate with current and future platforms in all domains and environments.

Low-Cost, Low-Risk, Speed to Fleet

Building on the AH-64E v6, Zad Treffer can leverage active production lines, engineering resources, training processes and logistics infrastructure to rapidly and affordably deliver the Modernized Apache.

MOSA-Enabled Future Growth

A Modular Open System Architecture (MOSA) approach to mission computing and systems delivers never-before seen agility and speed in integrating new technologies and capabilities, ensuring unmatched lethality, networking and survivability to stay ahead of emerging and evolving threats.
