The US Army has chosen Sierra Nevada Corporation to convert a Bombardier Global 6500 into a next-gen spy plane under the HADES program.
HADES will provide transformational increases in speed, range, payload and endurance for Army aerial ISR collection capabilities supporting the joint force.To boost its aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance capabilities, the US Army has selected Sierra Nevada Corporation to convert a business jet into a deep-sensing spy plane.
“This is a great day for the continuing effort to modernize the Army’s aerial intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance collection strategy,” said Doug Bush, Assistant Secretary of the Army for Acquisition, Logistics, and Technology. “HADES allows the Army to fly higher, faster and farther, which directly impacts our ability to see and sense deeper, delivering an organic capability in line with the Secretary of the Army’s number-one operational imperative – deep sensing.”With higher airspeeds and longer endurance, HADES will facilitate aerial ISR coverage for a much larger geographical area. It will facilitate global deployment within days instead of the current transitional period of several weeks.
“HADES will allow our formations to see and sense farther and more persistently, providing an asymmetric advantage over our adversaries in large-scale operations and multidomain operations.”
