L3Harris Technologies has delivered its second Bombardier Global 6500 missionized with advanced ISR capabilities, enhancing survivability, payload capacity, and standoff ranges for critical global missions, and reinforcing its market leadership with 103 missionized business jets and over thousands of aircraft delivered for various special missions.
In February 2025, L3Harris delivered the first missionized Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft. The latest delivery establishes the only pair of fully operational platforms equipped with advanced radar, electronic and communications intelligence capabilities.
“Given the operational need for affordable yet capable ISR aircraft, we are seeing an uptick in demand to take a commercial platform like a business jet and add mission equipment and survivability features.
This model accelerates the timeline for aircraft delivery and mission readiness.”
Jason Lambert, President, ISR, L3Harris
The delivery of the next-generation ISR aircraft brings the company’s total to 103 missionized business jets fielded to date. It reinforces the company’s global market leadership in business jet missionization. With more than 70 years of experience, the company has delivered thousands of aircraft missionized for ISR, maritime and other special missions based on more than 130 platform types from dozens of aircraft manufacturers.
The company has an additional 14 business jet aircraft modifications currently on order.
