IAR-99 fleet to receive new avionics from Israeli company
Elbit Systems is to provide advanced avionics systems and its live training Embedded Virtual Avionics system for installation on the IAR-99 Falcon trainer aircraft, under a $27 million contract from Romanian OEM Avioane Craiova.
The Israeli company added on 14 December that it will also supply undisclosed close air support and air-to-air capabilities to ‘facilitate an effective transition of RoAF [Romanian Air Force] pilots to the operation of advanced fighter aircraft such as the F-16’.
Yoram Shmuely, general manager of Elbit Systems Aerospace, noted: ‘This upgrade programme follows a range of technologies delivered by Elbit Systems to the RoAF in collaboration with Romanian companies, including large-scale upgrades for various fixed-wing aircraft as well as the supply of advanced capabilities for rotary-wing aircraft.’
