MESA, Ariz. — Boeing is preparing to test the Lockheed Martin DAGR laser-guided smart rocket off its AH-6 helicopter over the next few days as part of efforts to bolster the vehicle’s international and domestic sales potential. DAGR has been already fired off an AH-64 Apache, and is being offered as a simple drop-in replacement for the Hellfire. Boeing also is completing integration of the Wescam MX-15DI electro-optic system and is expanding the AH-6’s operational flexibility by offering different fuel systems featuring internal or external fuel tanks.
