CMC Electronics has signed two major contracts with Ukrainian aircraft manufacturer Antonov to modernise the AN-124 and AN-178 aircraft. The agreements, finalised on 9 April 2025, mark a significant development in CMC’s support of global aerospace programmes.

 

The AN-124, recognised as the heaviest cargo aircraft in operation, will receive a full avionics upgrade using CMC’s advanced systems. The AN-178, a military transport aircraft designed for short-range missions, will also benefit from the integration of CMC’s avionics suite.

The equipment to be delivered includes the CMA-9000 Flight Management System, CMA-5024 GPS Receiver, MFD-3068 Multi-Function Display, ECP-083 EFIS Control Panel, CMA-1612 Electronic Display Unit, and an Autopilot Control Panel, along with integration and support equipment. These systems will enhance the performance, reliability, and operational capability of both aircraft.

 

 

“This is a significant milestone in our partnership with Antonov and a strong signal of the aerospace industry’s resilience and renewal,” said Robert Kopersiewich, Vice-President, Sales & Marketing, CMC Electronics. “We are honoured to provide proven, next-generation avionics solutions that support the revival and modernization of these iconic aircraft.”
