The US government has approved the sale to Italy of special mission kits for Gulfstream G550 aircraft, valued at an estimated USD500 million.
The US is to provide Italy with special mission kits for two G550 aircraft that, externally at least, will be similar in appearance to the G550 CAEW which it previously acquired from IAI in Israel. (IAI)
Announced on 15 December, the State Department approval covers the procurement and integration of two Airborne Intelligence, Surveillance, Reconnaissance, and Electronic Warfare (AISREW) mission systems onto a pair of G550 aircraft to be provided by the Italian Ministry of Defence (MoD).
