In addition to being reliable and durable, Archangel is the world-class leader in mission systems. Archangel’s extensive mission capabilities are the result of its integrated, state-of-the-art avionics and communications systems, making it the multi-role, Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) aircraft of choice. The front and rear cockpit crew stations are outfitted with digital instrumentation for flight management, voice and data communication, flight control, payload management and engine management. The platform is configured with digital avionics, communications, and special mission equipment to include an electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) sensor and data links to support border patrol and other surveillance missions.
