En el contexto de la licitación del Proyecto Piquero, para el reemplazo de los O-A2 Skymaster, la WEB de la compañía informa lo siguiente:
"Armada De Chile Awards Vulcanair a contract to supply seven (7) P68 Observer aircraft specially configured for five different missions."
29 September 2015
On September 25th 2015, the Comptroller of the Chilean Army (Directemar) approved a contract for the supply of seven (7) Vulcanair P68 Observer 2 aircraft. The flexible and easily reconfigurable Vulcanair P68 Observer 2 will be deployed for several missions including: Search and Rescue, Maritime Police, Search and Reconnaissance, Medical Evacuation and Transport.
The aircraft will specifically be configured with special mission equipment, including an AIS for the identification of the ships, and an Infrared camera and other critical mission equipment.
The aircraft will be delivered during the course of 2016-2017.
The aircraft choice was based on the excellent value and flexibility of the P68 Observer 2 aircraft. The aircraft can safely operate over the water thanks to its twin-engine configuration. The P68 Observer 2 has a unique plexiglas nose providing a “helicopter-like” visibility. Its long-range capabilities were paramount in the aircraft choice. In fact some of the required missions require flying for up to 800 nautical miles.
“At Vulcanair we are pleased that Directemar selected our excellent surveillance aircraft. Vulcanair Aircraft are gaining momentum in the surveillance and aerial works arenas thanks to the excellent qualities of the aircraft, the extremely competitive pricing, and thanks to the excellent after sales support provided by Vulcanair. “ Says Remo De Feo CEO of Vulcanair Aircraft.
