An Apache attack helicopter of 4 Regiment, 656 Squadron Army Air Corps, is pictured at Otterburn ranges in Northumberland, England prior to a live firing exercise. Prominent in this picture, on the nose of the aircraft, is the day TV system, thermal imaging sight and direct view optics. All of these aid the pilot and co-pilot in acquiring and engaging multiple targets simultaneously in different environments.
