Type of aircraft radar
The AN/APG-78 Longbow is a millimeter-wave fire-control radar (FCR) system for the AH-64D/E Apache attack helicopter. It was initially developed in the 1980s as the Airborne Adverse Weather Weapon System (AAWWS) as part of the Multi-Stage Improvement Program (MSIP) to enhance the AH-64A.[2] By 1990, both AAWWS and MSIP were renamed Longbow.[3] The radar is produced by Longbow LLC, a joint venture of Lockheed Martin and Northrop Grumman.[1]
