Japan's Coast Guard Completes Q300 Modification Program

Field Aviation Upgrades Eight Bombardier Dash 8 Q300s

Modifications on the final Bombardier Dash 8 Q300 Maritime Patrol/Search and Rescue aircraft for the Japan Coast Guard have been completed by Field Aviation.

The aircraft, delivered to Sojitz Corporation, prime contractor to the Japan Coast Guard, represents the culmination of an eight-aircraft modification program which commenced in 2007. The Dash 8 Q300s modified by Field Aviation each feature a functional missionized interior, large conformal observation windows and a unique air drop capability through a Field Aviation-designed and certified air-operable rear cargo door, a vertical drop hatch and dual A-size launcher tubes.

The surveillance suite consisting of state-of-the-art sensor technology includes 360? surface search radar, a stabilized electro-optical - infrared turret and a specialized suite of mission navigation and satellite communications. The delivery of the Japan Coast Guard aircraft brings to over 30 the number of Bombardier Dash 8 series aircraft modified by Field Aviation for specialized roles and applications.
