L-3 Mission Integration said it conducted the first flight earlier this year of a modified Beechcraft Super King Air 350ER prototype under the U.S. Army’s Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System (Emarss) program. The Emarss-M1 “initial variant modification” is the first of three variants that will be tested this year, the company announced.
