C-27J 'Joint Cargo Aircraft'
Case study
L-3 Communications Integrated Systems relied on Barco to deliver Control Display Units for the C-27J Joint Cargo Aircraft program.
L-3 Communications preferred Barco’s CDMS-3000 over other CDUs because of its modular, open MOSArt architecture. This enables customers to develop or integrate their own avionics applications, or easily upgrade an existing application to meet future needs. Another driving factor was the display’s backward compatibility with the units operated on the current C-27J and C-130J fleet.
The Joint Cargo Aircraft (JCA) program is intended to revitalize the aviation assets of the Armed Forces in view of their current and anticipated needs. The airframe will be operated both by the US Army and the US Air Force. The Army will use the JCA to replace its ageing C-12 Hurons, C-23 Sherpas and C-26 Metroliners. In the Air Force cargo fleet, the new airframes will complement the existing C-130 Hercules.
