For the additional AH-64E Apache Guardian looks like we could get the latest standard production AH-64E Version 6 Configuration as Boeing is offering it to Australia for their Land 4503 requirement.

"On Sept. 5, Darren Edwards, the managing director of Boeing Defence Australia, said the proposal includes 29 AH-64E Version 6 Apache helicopters, which is the latest production standard delivered to the U.S. Army. The helo features the upgraded Northrop Grumman APG-78 Longbow fire Ccontrol radar with enhanced maritime and air-to-air modes."
AH-64E Guardian Version 6 Configuration:
"As noted by the US Army, the Version 6 upgrade comprises a Modernized Day Sensor Assembly (MDSA), "which greatly extends standoff and is a game-changer against a complex and hybrid threat", an improved cognitive decision aiding system (CDAS), software upgrades, and an upgraded mission processor.
The service has previously told Jane's that the Version 6 configuration specifically includes a new maritime targeting mode, as well as aided target detection/classification; multimode laser image blending; a radar frequency interferometer (RFI); passive ranging/range extension; fire-control radar enhancements; Longbow integrated maintenance support system ground analysis software improvement; an interactive electronic technical manual upgrade; and Soldier Radio Waveform (SRW)-embedded diagnostics."
