DASSAULT AVIATION and MARITIME SURVEILLANCE
Saint-Cloud, France, 20(th) May 2016 - The French Navy has taken delivery of the
last of its four Falcon 50 Surmar (Maritime Surveillance*) aircraft. The event
was marked by a military ceremony today on the Lann-Bihoué military base,
presided by the French Defense Minister Jean-Yves Le Drian, and attended by
Dassault Aviation Chairman & CEO Eric Trappier.
The four Falcon 50 Surmar aircraft, previously used for government
transportation missions, have undergone transformation work at Dassault
Aviation's Mérignac site to install a search radar, an optronic system, a new
cockpit and observation windows. Including the first four aircraft delivered
early in the 2000s, the French Navy now operates a fleet of eight Falcon 50
Surmar aircraft.
Dassault Aviation is proud to have earned the trust of the French Navy and the
French Defense Procurement Agency (DGA), and delighted with the smooth execution
of this program.
Dassault Aviation has supplied the French Navy's maritime surveillance aircraft
ever since the first Falcon 200 Gardians delivered in the early 1980s.
The new-generation Falcon Surmar has been launched with the Falcon 2000 MRA,
which was recently ordered by the Japanese Coast Guard.
* Maritime surveillance includes the following missions: operations to combat
piracy, trafficking and pollution; fisheries control; maritime search and rescue
(SAR).
