UAE Air Force to get multi-mission jet, boost rescue capacity
Abu Dhabi - The aircraft is expected to be delivered to the modification centre in 2019.
Additionally, Aquila has an option to supply a second Aircraft to the UAE Air Force.
The aircraft, a special mission variant of the Challenger business jet platform, is to be equipped with proven systems, providing outstanding capabilities in maritime surveillance, search and rescue, medical evacuation and command transportation.
Aquila, with the support of Bombardier's Specialised aircraft division, will conduct the modification, integration, testing and certification of this latest variant at its modification centre at Al Bateen Airport in Abu Dhabi. Aircraft modifications will meet the UAEAF requirements, including the installation of various sensors, mission operator stations, observation windows and air operable doors. The aircraft is expected to be delivered to the modification centre in 2019.
Homaid Al Shimmari, chairman of Aquila, said: "Aquila is the first and only modification centre in the Gulf region specifically focused on specialised derivatives of business aircraft. Aquila's strength lies in offering a world-class service, indigenous capability complemented by the highest-calibre aviation professionals, partners and manufacturers."
"This and future programmes will create a new approach to the dynamic international marketplace, whereby all parties mutually contribute and create solutions for a wide range of missions. Aquila aims to develop future C4ISR (Command, Control, Communications, Computer, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance) solutions based on well-established, cost-effective, long range and high-endurance business aircraft platforms."
