Family of King Air ISR Aircraft

Full document text

FAMILY OF KING AIR ISR AIRCRAFT L3Harris is the industry leader in modifying King Air aircraft for intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR). L3Harris’ family of King Air ISR aircraft, known as the SPYDR family, provides the optimum solution for airborne ISR missions. L3Harris has over 65 years of experience providing complex ISR capabilities. Since 2009, we have produced more than 70 missionized King Air 350 aircraft for various customers supporting missions around the globe. SPYDR I Gen 2 Modifications > Includes all SPYDR-family common capabilities (detailed on the next page) > Nose extension for WESCAM MX™-15 EO/IR sensors or similar shape/mass > Additional communication intelligence (COMINT) capabilities SPYDR II with RAPDS™ > Includes all SPYDR-family common capabilities > Compatible with SPYDR nose extension for WESCAM MX™ -15 EO/IR sensors or similar shape/mass > Rapid aircraft payload deployment system’s (RAPDS’) modular payload, interior and hardpoints design adapts quickly to various mission configurations between sorties in a matter of hours > Multiple supplemental type certificates (STC) enable substantial aircraft tailoring to meet customer requirements with minimal new design effort > Roll-on/roll-off infrastructure > Multi-section ventral fairing and radomes: slick, ISR and maritime interchangable configurations > Modular baseplates with standardized mounting > Distributed power, ethernet networks, global positioning system, inter- communication system and OmniBus > Operator workstations and equipment racks The King Air aircraft has proven to be a very reliable, high-performance platform, excellent for integration of multi-sensor mission systems. The L3Harris SPYDR family of King Air ISR aircraft provides critical collection, processing, exploitation and dissemination (PED) capabilities.
