Article Tools
L-3 Communications Integrated Systems, a subsidiary of L-3 Communications, has submitted a joint cargo aircraft (JCA) proposal on behalf of the C-27J JCA team. As the prime contractor, L-3 Communications leads the C-27J JCA team, which includes its Integrated Systems subsidiary and its key partners, Alenia North America, Boeing Integrated Defense Systems and Global Military Aircraft Systems.
The C-27J was designed to meet U.S. military standards, specifically for tactical flight profiles, and to provide medium airlift operations in support of ground forces. The primary mission of the JCA will be to move mission-critical/time-sensitive cargo to forward tactical units in remote and austere locations and land or take off from short, unimproved runways. The C-27J offers the ability to carry heavy payloads over extended distances. Its exceptional short take-off and landing (STOL) performance, ruggedness and self-deployability features, combined with greater speed and range meet the JCA requirements. With headquarters in New York City, L-3 Communications is a provider of intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance systems, secure communications systems, aircraft modernization, training and government services.
