The helicopter also features a joint tactical radio system, electro-optical and infrared (EO/IR) sensors to improve pilots' situational awareness and an oversea capacity, enabling potential strikes on smaller ships.<br /><br />Boeing adds control of unmanned aircraft to the Apache helicopter's impressive capabilities.
