Meer over het boek

The assessment evaluates the effectiveness of attack helicopter gunnery training as the Army introduces the AH-64D Longbow. It highlights deficiencies in both institutional and unit training strategies, asserting that current methods are inadequate for the Longbow's needs. The thesis reviews the evolution of attack helicopters and the Army's expectations for future operations, comparing the capabilities of the AH-64A and AH-64D. Emphasizing the human element in combat, it argues for training that prepares aviators for real-world uncertainties rather than solely focusing on technology.
