Morocco Upgrades Military Capabilities with Four G550 Surveillance Aircraft

Morocco will acquire four G550 electronic warfare and reconnaissance aircraft of the ISR type following an agreement with the American private aircraft manufacturer, Gulfstream Aerospace in 2019.
L3 Technologies, the American supplier specialized in ISR (intelligence, reconnaissance and surveillance) systems and electronic and communications systems for defense, homeland security and civil aviation, is active in equipping four G550 aircraft. The Moroccan naval force could replace its current electromagnetic intelligence aircraft - C130 Hercules and Falcon 20ECM - with the four G550s.
"These aircraft would be used in ELINT [electronic intelligence] missions, capturing different radio frequencies used by ground or air systems to determine their position, intercept them if they are not encrypted or locate their point of emission," reported the Defensa newspaper.
