Known as the MC-55A Peregrine, the contract includes four
modified Gulfstream G550 aircraft with an integrated mission system
that provides the latest EW capabilities. Work on this program was
initiated in 2017. Funded orders received on this contract were
approximately $230 million for the 2019 first quarter and
approximately $700 million in total as of March 29, 2019.
“Our mission solution and electronic warfare capabilities are
highly sought-after by our allies,” said Christopher E. Kubasik,
L3’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. “As business
jets are increasingly utilized for EW purposes, we have invested in
miniaturizing our capabilities to deliver new resources for our
customers. Australia is a very important market for L3, and we look
forward to a long and productive partnership with the RAAF and the
local supplier base in support of the Peregrine program.”
The MC-55A Peregrine will be integrated into the Commonwealth’s
joint warfighting networks, providing a critical link between
platforms, including the F-35A Joint Strike Fighter, E-7A
Wedgetail, EA-18G Growler, Navy surface combatants and amphibious
assault ships, and ground assets to support the warfighter.
“This capability will greatly strengthen the RAAF’s goal to
becoming a fully networked fifth-generation force and considerably
enhance their global effect on peacekeeping and humanitarian
operations,” said Jeff Miller, Corporate Senior Vice President and
President of L3’s ISR Systems business segment. “It will serve as a
critical link between air, land and sea assets to provide airborne
electronic warfare support to Commonwealth and allied warfighters
in complex operating environments.”
Work is being performed at L3’s Greenville, Texas facility and
at Gulfstream in Savannah, Georgia. It will include airframe
modifications to accommodate mission systems and secure
communications equipment, installation of a self-protection suite,
ground-based data processing systems and crew training
services.
With headquarters in New York City and approximately 31,000
employees worldwide, L3 develops advanced defense technologies and
commercial solutions in pilot training, aviation security, night
vision and EO/IR, weapons, maritime systems and space. The company
reported 2018 sales of $10.2 billion.
