Defense technology provider Bird Aerosystems has been granted an Israeli CAA supplemental type certificate (STC) for modifications to the Beechcraft King Air 350C. This expands the aircraft’s capability for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance (ISR), and special missions.

According to Bird, the certification allows integration of a broad range of ISR payloads such as EO/IR sensors, multimode radars, and NATO-standard 30-inch pylons, turning the aircraft into an adaptable, multirole platform. The STC complements Bird’s airborne surveillance, intelligence and observation system, which integrates multiple sensors and communications to deliver real-time intelligence.
