L3Harris has announced that The U.S. Army has awarded a contract to prime contractor MAG Aerospace, in partnership with L3Harris Technologies, to deliver two advanced intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft as part of the Army’s Theater-Level, High-Altitude Expeditionary Next Airborne ISR-Radar program, known as ATHENA-R. These enhanced ISR capabilities will be integrated onto Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft, aiding the Army in fulfilling its global intelligence requirements. The aircraft’s high-altitude operation will contribute to its survivability and line-of-sight capabilities, both crucial factors in supporting the Army’s efforts toward modernizing long-range precision fires.
MAG Aerospace currently holds the position of prime contractor for the Army’s Sensor Technology Operations and Readiness (STORM) contract, reflecting the company’s integral involvement in critical capabilities that contribute to global safety and security.
