Why the Cessna 206H for special mission?

The Cessna 206 is the workhorse of airborne law enforcement. Most every agency in the US and around the world fly the Cessna 206 as part of their air support.
  • With our system installed there is still a useful load of 1285lbs.
  • With the payload fully retracted in the aircraft, our system doesn't extend the takeoff distance.
  • All other aircraft performance remains the same.

Cessna 206 is rapidly reconfigurable to suit any customer need.

  • Mission Management System integrated with the aircraft avionics (optional)
  • Industry Leading EO/IR System - Several models available (Flir, Wescam, TrakkaCam, Hensoldt)
  • Rpaid Imaging Mission Management System
  • 1-2 TFO Operator Workstations
  • Tactical Voice VHF/UHF Communications with P-25 Capability
  • L/S/C Band tactical data link with ground stations
  • Rugged Airborne Displays with touchscreen, Emo hardened, Split/Quad screen options - NVG Backlight available
  • Optional HD cockpit display available
