Japan Coast Guard Selects Dassault Aviation's
Falcon 2000 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft after an international
competition
SAINT CLOUD, France, April 22, 2015 (GLOBE
NEWSWIRE) -- The Japan Coast Guard (JCG) has selected
the Falcon 2000 Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA) proposed by
Dassault Aviation to enhance its operational fleet.
The Falcon 2000 MSA, based on a Falcon 2000 LXS
(range 4000 NM), is designed for a broad range of missions
including maritime surveillance, piracy control, drug interdiction,
fishery patrol, law enforcement, search and rescue, intelligence
and reconnaissance. It offers the best combination of size,
payload, speed, range and acquisition and operating costs on the
market.
"This acquisition comes after an international
competition won by Dassault Aviation. It is a new milestone in the
long standing relationship between Dassault Aviation and the Japan
Coast Guard," said Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault
Aviation. "Japan has successfully operated Falcon jets for maritime
surveillance and search and rescue around the Japanese archipelago
since 1989 and we are extremely honored that, once again, the Japan
Coast Guard has chosen to renew its confidence in our
aircraft".
By acquiring modern and efficient new maritime
surveillance mid size jets, JCG will be equipped with a highly
capable and cost effective platform developed with our partners L-3
Platform Integration and THALES.
Dassault Aviation will also provide the JCG with
comprehensive maintenance support capabilities allowing the JCG to
achieve a high level of aircraft availability. These support
capabilities will enable the aircraft to efficiently meet the
demanding operational requirements of the JCG.
As a major manufacturer of advanced combat
aircraft, Dassault Aviation has a solid reputation in Naval
Aviation having developed several aircraft dedicated to maritime
missions. The Falcon family has been very successful in the
governmental market and this selection of the Falcon 2000 MSA
confirms its capability to fulfill the most exacting customer
needs.
