M-TADS/PNVS

The Eyes of the Apache

The Modernized Target Acquisition Designation Sight/Pilot Night Vision Sensor (M-TADS/PNVS) is a long-range, precision engagement and pilotage solution for day, night and adverse weather missions. Lockheed Martin’s electro-optical sensor provides Apache aircrews enhanced situational awareness with greater performance and survivability.

Apache Fire Control: Modernized Turret

Modernized Turret increases operational availability and boosts system performance for pilots. Modernized Turret’s enhanced performance addresses user requirements for greater rates and acceleration of sensors in azimuth and elevation. Design incorporates reliability and maintainability improvements for significant life cycle cost savings.

Apache Fire Control: Performance Based Logistics (PBL)

Performance Based Logistics (PBL) is a top tier repair surface for M-TADS/PNVS.

The M-TADS/PNVS advanced targeting and pilotage sensors fielded on the Apache helicopter in June 2005 and drew the praise of Army Aviation pilots, who commented: "The detail is excellent. Now, I can see the wires." (Photo by Lockheed Martin)
M-TADS/PNVS's lightweight modules can be rapidly removed and replaced while the Apache helicopter is in the field. Thus, M-TADS/PNVS reduces field maintenance to only two levels and saves the U.S. Army over $1 billion in operation and support costs over the life of the system. (Photo by Lockheed Martin)
