EADS North America Gets Nod From US Coast Guard On Maritime Patrol Aircraft

USCG Goes With First Two CN-235 Patrol Planes

EADS North America says the US Coast Guard of its decision to procure two CN-235 aircraft for the Maritime Patrol Aircraft platform.
As stated by the Coast Guard, these aircraft will be the first of a multi-year, multi-aircraft acquisition, under the Integrated Deepwater System (IDS) program.

Supports Homeland Security

"We are extremely pleased by the Coast Guard selection of the CN-235 to be their Maritime Patrol Aircraft. The medium range capabilities of this aircraft will be very supportive of the many missions required of the Coast Guard--from Homeland Security, to environmental protection, fisheries enforcement, drug and migrant interdiction, search and rescue," said Ralph Crosby, Chairman and CEO of EADS North America. "This is a clear validation of the capability, flexibility and value of the CN-235 as a surveillance platform."

The CN-235 is produced by EADS-CASA in Spain with substantial US content, including avionics, propulsion and subsystems. Engines are produced by General Electric in Lynn (MA).

"The selection of the CN-235 as part of the ICGS offering is a clear example of the benefits of transatlantic cooperation. It is also another example of how EADS brings its global capabilities together to provide valued products to US governmental customers," Crosby said. "The CN-235 best meets the operational needs of the Coast Guard and is a cost-effective choice for the American taxpayer."
