Germany has officially received the first aircraft of the PEGASUS program, a Bombardier Global 6000 modified for advanced electronic reconnaissance missions.  The jet landed in Hamburg after a transatlantic flight from the United States, marking a new milestone in the Bundeswehr’s intelligence-modernization project.  Manufactured at Bombardier’s facility in Wichita, Kansas, the aircraft was transferred to Lufthansa Technik’s facilities, where it will undergo the next stages of system integration. According to the Hartpunkt portal, work is now focused on the full installation of surveillance and signals-intelligence equipment.  Source and images: Hensoldt | X @hensoldt | Bombardier Defense

00:00This program since 2021 we went through multiple phases of development with Lufthansa with Hansel

00:12jointly working to develop this product and today marks the day where we finally deliver

00:17these aircraft to Lufthansa for them to start the integration of the mission system. This is a

00:22pivotal moment for the next generation of SIGIM solutions. For Bombardier Defense this is a

00:40contract to deliver an airborne electronic signal intelligence system built on its future-proof

00:45technology. The mission to equip three Bombardier global aircraft with next generation signal

00:51capabilities. From that moment forward Hansel, Lufthansa Technique Defense and Bombardier Defense

00:57embarked on a joint design journey. One team, one mission. By 2024, First Light was successfully
