In this episode of the Defence Connect Podcast, host Robert Dougherty is joined by business development director for Boeing Attack Helicopter Programs, Terry “TJ” Jamison, as they discuss the changing strategy of attack helicopters in modern warfare and the development of “launched effects”.

Jamison, a 30-year veteran of the US Army, has previously commanded an air cavalry squadron in Iraq and a combat aviation brigade in Afghanistan. The former Apache attack helicopter pilot retired from US military service as a colonel with more than 5,000 flight hours in helicopters, such as the AH-64D Apache Longbow and CH-47 Chinook.

The pair discuss a range of topics, including:

  • The evolving impact of “launched effects” and the uncrewed options for attack helicopters, such as the AH-64E Apache.
  • The changes that the United States military is making to its own attack helicopter strategy, role and capabilities.
  • Modern helicopter warfare examples seen in the Ukraine–Russia conflict and the implications being discussed in the public regarding attack helicopters.
  • Manned and unmanned teaming technology being developed to empower aerial platforms, such as the AH-64E Apache and MQ-28A Ghost Bat.
