Opps I'm wrong. According to Jane's:
"The first trial firing of an active MMW radar-guided AGM-114L Longbow 
Hellfire 2 missile was carried out in early 1994, this version was
developed 
for the AH-64D Longbow Apache helicopter. Low rate initial production
was 
authorised in December 1995 and the Longbow Hellfire 2 entered service
in 
1998. The US Army plans to purchase 12,905 AGM-114L missiles."
Which might explain why I never ran into them. The Apache units we
worked 
with most of the time were just using standard (laser guided) Hellfires.
I don't recall working with any Longbow units.
