The Australian government requested to buy MC-55A Baseline 2 upgrades and related equipment and services, including major and minor modifications, spare parts, consumables and accessories, repair and return support, and engineering, technical and logistics support services, the Defense Security Cooperation Agency said Wednesday.
The MC-55A, an L3Harris-manufactured aircraft based on the Gulfstream G550 business jet, is equipped with intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance and electronic warfare mission systems. Australia acquired four modified G550 aircraft to enhance its electronic warfare capabilities and interoperability with the U.S. Air Force, Airforce Technology reported.
Australia’s Role in Regional Stability
The potential sale supports U.S. foreign policy and national security objectives by enhancing the self-defense capabilities of Australia. The country’s location contributes to maintaining peace and economic stability in the region. Providing the capability to maintain its fleet of MC-55A aircraft enhances the country’s ability to conduct effective air operations and support U.S. operations, DSCA said.
