The Cessna SkyCourier, Cessna Grand Caravan EX and Beechcraft
King Air are designed and manufactured by Textron Aviation Inc., a
Textron Inc. (NYSE:TXT) company.
The initial award is for three King Air 360 Extended Range
(KA360ER) aircraft, of which two are destined for the Peruvian
Naval Aviation Force (Fuerza de Aviación Naval) and one for the
Ecuadorian Naval Aviation (Aviación Naval Ecuatoriana).
“This IDIQ aligns with Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin’s recent
tasking memo directing improvement and acceleration of DOD’s
institutional processes to execute FMS cases. It will provide
highly capable commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) aircraft that can be
equipped with COTS releasable technology, and it will accelerate
acquisition and contracting timelines from many months or years to
weeks,” said Bob Gibbs, vice president, Special Mission Sales for
Textron Aviation. “We are honored the U.S. Army created this
multiyear IDIQ contract with Textron Aviation, which provides the
ability to rapidly procure COTS aircraft and modification for FMS
allies and partner nations.”
All three of the initial King Air turboprops awarded will
perform maritime patrol to enforce the sovereignty of Peru and
Ecuador over their respective Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZ).
