CANADAIR CHALLENGER
Canada operates 17 Challenger 600 business jets, as CC-144/CE-144As, on missions including transport, flight inspection, air ambulance, electronic-warfare training and coastal patrol.
CANADAIR CL-215/415
A CL-415M special-mission variant of the twin-turboprop amphibious aircraft is being proposed. Deliveries of this upgraded version of the CL-215 piston-powered amphibian, for firefighting missions, began in November 1994. CL-215s are used by Spain and Thailand for SAR and coastal patrol.
DE HAVILLAND DASH 7/8
Bombardier is proposing a maritime-patrol derivative of the Dash 8-300 twin-turboprop regional aircraft. Military Dash 8M-100s are already in service with the Canadian Forces (two CC-142 transports and four CT-142 navigation trainers) and the USAF (two range-control E-9As).
Earlier, four-turboprop, Dash 7s are in service with the US Army as the RC-7B Airborne Reconnaissance Low-Multifunction (ARL-M), with a fleet of eight planned by 2004. The ARL-M is equipped with Raytheon moving-target-indication/synthetic-aperture radar.
GLOBAL EXPRESS
Raytheon Systems has selected the Global Express long-range business jet as the basis for its proposal for the UK's Airborne Stand-Off Radar requirement. The Global Express, now in flight test, is powered by two 65kN BMW R-R BR710s.
LEARJET 35A/36A
Military variants of the Learjet 35A/36A business jet include 84 35As operated by the US Air Force as C-21A transports and five 36As operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defence force as utility U-36As. Several air forces operate the aircraft for target towing.
