Mystery surrounds Algeria’s three ISR Gulfstream 550s

Mystery continues to surround the Algerian Air Force’s USD1.1 billion deal for three intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR)-configured Gulfstream 550 aircraft.

The contract, brokered by the Algerian armed forces’ Joint Chief of Staff, General Ahmed Gaid Salah, was signed with aerospace giant Raytheon in late 2015, yet more than two years later the work appears to have stalled.

Raytheon outsourced the Algerian business to US-owned Field Aerospace, based at Will Rogers World Airport in Oklahoma. This is where the three Gulfstream 550s – N543RN (serial number 5543), N546RN (5546), and N550RN (5550; ex-N750GA) – are currently housed. Field’s past work has involved the KC-10 and KC-135 tankers operated by the US Air Force (USAF), but the company also states on its website it is an ISR systems integrator.

The German company Rheinmetall announced on 8 October that it has received an order to provide an international customer with components for the manufacturing of Fuchs-2 6×6 armoured vehicles. It said the order is worth hundreds of millions of euros and that the components will be delivered between 2019 and 2020.

It did not identify the customer, but Algeria is the only country that produces the Fuchs-2 under licence.

The German press reported in 2014 that Berlin had approved a USD2.7 billion deal under which a factory would be established in Algeria to produce 980 Fuchs-2s.

The first Algerian Fuchs-2s were seen when Chief of Staff Lieutenant General Ahmed Gaïd Salah visited the Republican Guard's Special Intervention Regiment in May 2015.
