Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) has designed a surveillance version of the Gulfstream G280 super-midsize business jet and is seeking a launch customer. “After three years in the market, the G280 is mature enough for special missions,” said Avishai Izhakian, deputy general manager of the Airborne Systems Division of Elta, IAI’s radar house. He unveiled the new version at the Airborne ISR conference in London, organized by Defence IQ.
