Angolan C295s

摘要

The Angolan government has authorised the purchase of three C295 transport aircraft, which will be used to monitor the country's exclusive economic zone. President Joao Lourenco authorised commodities trading company Simportex to finalise the €159.9 million contract for the aircraft with Airbus Defence and Space on March 2, 2018. Apart from transport duties, the C295s will be used by the Angolan Navy for maritime surveillance. Although Airbus has not confirmed the systems fit, the price tag indicates special mission equipment will be added, such as the fully integrated tactical system, dubbed FITS, developed for maritime surveillance which integrates sensor controls and displays.
