The Future Cargo Aircraft (FCA) is central to the U.S. Army's Aviation Modernization program, a restructure and revitalization of its aviation assets to reflect current and anticipated needs. As a key component in its fixed wing fleet, the Army will procure 33 new FCAs to support operations and to
transport supply items and personnel to forward deployments in remote locations.
The C-27J Spartan provides the U.S. Army with unsurpassed performance, an unmatched level of interoperability, enhanced tactical flexibility, excellent reliability, unparalleled survivability and best value to the warfighter - making it the ideal choice for the FCA program.
The C-27J Spartan embodies GMAS' uncompromising commitment to deliver a proven interoperable and survivable airlifter to the U.S. military. Born a rugged military airlift platform, the C-27J has a maximum payload of over 25,000 lbs. that can be configured for any mission: troops, medevac,
airdrop or cargo. In an austere environment, the C-27J provides the autonomous capability to get in, get out, and get the job done.
Combining peerless interoperability, extended range, superior payload and essential STOL capability, the C-27J Spartan more than meets the requirements of the U.S. Army FCA program. |
