The Czech aircraft manufacturer Aero Vodochody and Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) signed a partnership agreement for technical and marketing cooperation for the light combat L-159 aircraft. Under the agreement, IAI will integrate new avionics and other solutions in the L-159 platform, and the two companies will jointly market the aircraft.
The L-159 is a light multi-role combat aircraft designed for a variety of air-to-air, air-to-ground and reconnaissance missions. It is equipped with a multi-mode IAI/Elta radar for all-weather, day and night operations.
Joseph Weiss, IAI President & CEO said: "The cooperation with Aero Vodochody opens up new and exciting opportunities by combining the impressive proven performance of the L-159 with new innovative IAI systems to provide customers with aircraft that meet their future requirements."
The companies have also agreed to collaborate on enhancing pilot training by integrating IAI's virtual training solutions as part of the overall L-39NG training system.
The L-39NG (Next Generation) is a turbofan-powered military trainer aircraft. It features a broad range of simulation technologies, including integration with high-tech tactical simulation centers to increase training efficiency.
