US military awards Boeing $2.7 billion contract for Apache support services

The US Army has awarded Boeing a $2.7 billion contract relating to post-production support services for Apache helicopters, the Pentagon announced on December 31, 2025.

The firm fixed-price contract, valued at $2,728,234,918, was awarded by the US Army Contracting Command at Redstone Arsenal, Alabama. Boeing was the sole bidder for the contract, which was solicited online. Work locations and funding will be determined with each order, with an estimated completion date of December 31, 2030.

The announcement follows a separate $4.7 billion contract being awarded to Boeing in November 2025 for new-build Apache AH-64E attack helicopters, Longbow crew trainers, and related accessories for Poland.

The AH-64 Apache serves as the backbone of the US Army’s attack helicopter fleet and has accumulated over 5.3 million flight hours, including more than 1.3 million in combat operations. With more than 1,300 aircraft operating globally, the Apache has been selected as the attack helicopter of choice by 19 countries.

The US Army recently demonstrated the Apache’s expanding capabilities during live-fire exercises in South Carolina in August 2025. Working with the South Carolina Army National Guard, the service tested the AH-64E’s ability to detect, track and destroy unmanned aircraft systems using 30mm proximity-fused ammunition.

With Apache production scheduled to continue into the 2030s, the helicopter is expected to serve the US Army and partner nations as the world’s primary attack helicopter into the 2060s. 

Boeing and the US Army are continuing to invest in new technologies, including an Open Systems Approach to integrate capabilities such as Launched Effects and enhanced teaming with autonomous systems for improved interoperability.
