Lockheed Martin will continue to support Egypt's AH-64D Apache Longbow attack helicopter fleet after recently receiving a modified FMS contract for 22 Modernised Target Acquisition Designation Sight (M-TADS)/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (PNVS) system kits for the aircraft. 

Funding of $25 million has been provided by US Contracting Command in Illinois with work set to be carried out before the end of October 2020.
