Deliveries to Morocco are expected to begin in 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThis is another step forward in our long partnership with the Kingdom of Morocco,\u201d said Jeff Shockey, vice president, Global Sales and Marketing, Boeing Defense, Space &amp; Security and Government Services. \u201cWorldwide demand for the Apache is growing and we are proud to provide this best-in-class capability to Morocco.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The AH-64E Apache is the latest configuration of the attack helicopter. It is designed and equipped with an open systems architecture including the latest communications, navigation, sensor and weapon systems. It has an improved Modernized Target Acquisition Designation System that provides day, night and all-weather target information, as well as night vision navigation capability. In addition to classifying ground and air targets, the Fire Control Radar has been updated to operate in a maritime environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing will build and deliver the new Moroccan Apaches under a contract with the U.S. Army through the U.S. government\u2019s Foreign Military Sales process. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Boeing\u2019s partnership with Morocco spans decades. The company is committed to developing Morocco\u2019s supply chain and future workforce. Boeing is a partner of the MATIS Aerospace joint venture, which produces airplane wire bundles and harnesses. In 2016, the company signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Kingdom to create an ecosystem of aircraft equipment suppliers. Boeing also supports the country&#8217;s future workforce through partnerships with Education for Employment (EFE) Morocco and the INJAZ Al-Maghrib association.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"802\" height=\"640\" src=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/boeingbuilding28social29-802x640-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-8253\" srcset=\"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/boeingbuilding28social29-802x640-1.jpg 802w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/boeingbuilding28social29-802x640-1-300x239.jpg 300w, https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/boeingbuilding28social29-802x640-1-768x613.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 802px) 100vw, 802px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Morocco is the 17th country to acquire the Boeing AH-64 Apache through a contract for 24 of the helicopters that was recently signed. \u201cThis is another step forward in our <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10172,9316,89,5804,799,5637,1836,5992,2203,4957,3680,5676,8651,10674,5446,10169,10176,1397,10195],"tags":[7924,3934,3648,167,9536,11889,9535,2860,2345,151,41,1643,4512,2163,430,2908,4921,1268,4335,2956,2493,8104,4864,6374,4253,336,1915,688,411,1371,7088,805,11890,808,2000,2933,5453,1639,5315,11888,889,4443,6447,1929,412,4052,3119,4084,1249,2397,2998,5762,987,5698,413,1641,937,1149,4853,1691,631,444,2001,949,3432],"class_list":["post-8251","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-aerospace","category-air-force-news","category-aviation-news","category-avionics","category-boeing-news","category-business-news","category-defense-news","category-economic-news","category-finance-news","category-global-politics","category-helicopter-news","category-international-news","category-joint-venture-news","category-military","category-military-news","category-news","category-stock-news-2","category-stock-news","category-transport","tag-7924","tag-acquire","tag-acquisition","tag-aerospace","tag-ah-64e","tag-al-maghrib","tag-apache","tag-arabia","tag-association","tag-attack","tag-boeing","tag-capability","tag-communications","tag-configuration","tag-contract","tag-control","tag-country","tag-defense","tag-delivered","tag-deliveries","tag-demand","tag-designed","tag-environment","tag-equipped","tag-expected","tag-fire","tag-global","tag-government","tag-greece","tag-helicopters","tag-improved","tag-india","tag-injaz","tag-japan","tag-joint","tag-kingdom","tag-latest","tag-maritime","tag-marketing","tag-matis","tag-military","tag-morocco","tag-navigation","tag-netherlands","tag-news","tag-night","tag-orders","tag-radar","tag-sales","tag-saudi","tag-security","tag-sensor","tag-services","tag-signed","tag-singapore","tag-south-korea","tag-space","tag-systems","tag-target","tag-transport","tag-u-s","tag-united","tag-venture","tag-vision","tag-weapon"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8251","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8251"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8251\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8254,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8251\/revisions\/8254"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8251"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8251"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/planesintheair.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8251"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
