We’ve completed a 12-month operational maintenance exercise with the @USArmy to improve AH-64E readiness and reduce costs with our Next Generation Automatic Test System (NGATS) Pathfinder.

This effort builds upon our NGATS work by extending the system from ground vehicles to aircraft — giving Army maintainers a new way to test aviation systems where the work is done.

Next-level interoperability 🚁

We demonstrated seamless data exchange with the AH-64E Apache’s Version 6.5 software, as part of the @USArmy’s Right to Integrate initiative — highlighting how trusted platforms and next-gen systems can talk, share and operate as one.

Together, we're building a more connected and ready force.
