Melbourne, Fla. January 27, 2021 — The U.S. Air Force has awarded L3Harris Technologies (NYSE:LHX) a five-year, up to $668 million IDIQ contract to help maintain its C-130 aircraft fleet readiness.

L3Harris will perform sustainment on C-130H and J-model aircraft at its 1.1 million-square-foot aircraft modification center in Waco, Texas.

The center features hangars to support a full range of missionization and aircraft services, including conducting parallel avionics modernization and programmed depot-level maintenance efforts for reduced aircraft downtime.

The center supports the Air National Guard and Air Force Reserve C-130H aircraft fleet under the U.S. Air Force Avionics Modernization Program Increment 2. The center also services the U.S. Air Force, U.S. Coast Guard, U.S. Navy, U.S. Marine Corps, space, commercial and international operators.

“L3Harris' support will alleviate capacity constraints for the U.S. Air Force's Air Logistics complexes,” said Sean Stackley, President, Integrated Mission Systems, L3Harris. “Our extensive C-130 experience, skilled personnel and expansive hangar capacity provide a ready solution to assist the Air Force in maintaining its fleet readiness.”

    CACI’s CORIAN™ Selected for the Defense Department’s C-sUAS Mission

    Arlington, Va. - August 10, 2020 - (BUSINESS WIRE) - CACI International Inc (NYSE: CACI) announced today that the Army's Joint Counter-Small Unmanned Aircraft Systems (C-sUAS) Office (JCO) has selected its CORIAN™ system to protect DoD personnel and facilities against threats from unmanned aircraft systems/drones. DoD designated the Army JCO as the executive agent for C-sUAS to identify and prioritize shared gaps in technology and plans, and to work with industry to discern emerging technologies, address challenges, increase efficiencies, and promote competition in future technology development and procurement activities. Out of the 40+ systems under consideration, DoD leadership selected CORIAN as one of three fixed/semi-fixed systems approved for use by the Department. The selection reaffirms CACI's position as a leader in the delivery of C-sUAS systems and solutions for the DoD. The Department identified CACI's CORIAN C-sUAS solution as one of the fixed/Semi-fixed systems that provided “the best performance and capability mix during the assessment.” DoD's criteria for selecting systems for current use and future research and testing included system effectiveness, usability, sustainment, and integration. CORIAN is a modular, scalable mission technology system which detects, identifies, tracks, and mitigates UAS threats using precision-neutralization techniques that ensure little to no collateral damage to the surrounding radio frequency (RF) spectrum and existing communications. CORIAN combines the industry's leading group 1-3 drone detection and mitigation ranges with DoD's most comprehensive, up-to-date C-sUAS signal library to keep pace with the growing and ever-changing threat. John Mengucci, CACI President and Chief Executive Officer, said, “CACI looks forward to expanding our base of installed systems worldwide and continuing our support to the Defense Department with CORIAN for immediate use, future research and testing to counter UAS threats. As a market leader in counter-UAS, we are significantly expanding CACI's critical mission UAS technologies to best meet the ever-evolving operational needs of the DoD.” CACI Executive Chairman and Chairman of the Board Dr. J.P. (Jack) London, said, “As a national security company, CACI continues to bring innovation and expertise to advance the military's critical C-sUAS capabilities and to equip and protect our warfighters around the world.” CACI's 23,000 talented employees are vigilant in providing the unique expertise and distinctive technology that address our customers' greatest enterprise and mission challenges. Our culture of good character, innovation, and excellence drives our success and earns us recognition as a Fortune World's Most Admired Company.

    Le SIAé livre son premier exemplaire du Dassault ATL2 modernisé au standard 6

    Le Service industriel de l'aéronautique (SIAé) a convoyé son premier Dassault ATL2 modernisé de Dassault Aviation au standard 6, l'ATL2 numéro 9, vers la base de Lann-Bihoué, en Bretagne, à l'issue de son chantier de rénovation du système de combat. Commandé par la Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) en 2013, ce chantier de rénovation du système de combat porte sur 18 appareils dont onze ont été confiés au SIAé. Le SIAé devra donc livrer 11 ATL2 rénovés sur la période 2021-2024, couplés à des visites d'entretien périodiques. La réalisation des chantiers de rénovation fait également appel à Latécoère et à son sous-traitant AAA. Dassault Aviation s'est vu confier la modernisation des sept autres exemplaires et s'appuie sur Sabena technics pour l'accompagner en tant que sous-traitant sur ce chantier. Le standard 6 comprend notamment un nouveau radar à antenne active, un nouveau sous-système acoustique et de nouvelles consoles pour le sous-système de visualisation tactique développés par le SIAé.
