The aircraft will provide airborne electronic warfare and intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities to support multi-domain operations for Australia and coalition forces. “The MC-55A Peregrine will be a force multiplier in delivering critical data for long-range targeting, regional deployments and effective mission planning,” said Jason Lambert, President, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance, Space and Mission Systems, L3Harris.
“The specialized aircraft will give the RAAF information superiority and serve as strategic assets for future Australian Defence Force operations,” Lambert added. The first aircraft has been delivered by the U.S. Air Force to the Royal Australian Air Force, while follow-on aircraft will remain with the Air Force to support training and pre-delivery requirements.
L3Harris has established a field service team in Australia to work alongside local industry partners and provide in-country support. Ongoing software and hardware upgrades are planned to ensure the MC-55A Peregrine remains ready to address evolving threats and future mission needs.
