Germany's Airborne Signals Intelligence Program Enters Integration Phase

The first aircraft destined for Germany’s PEGASUS airborne signals intelligence program has arrived in Hamburg, marking the start of system integration and certification work ahead of entry into service. The platform is based on the Bombardier Global 6000 business jet, which will undergo modification and mission-system installation at Lufthansa Technik (Credt: Lufthansa Technik). HENSOLDT is acting as the prime contractor for the PEGASUS program, overseeing mission systems and overall integration. The arrival of the first aircraft marks the transition from platform preparation in the US to full system integration in Germany, a phase expected to last several years.
