GMAS to Showcase the C-27J Spartan at the 2005 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition

Global Military Aircraft Systems Showcases the C-27J Spartan, the "No Compromise" True Military, Medium Tactical Transport Aircraft, at the 2005 AUSA Show (October 3rd to the 5th)
WHAT: Global Military Aircraft Systems (GMAS), a joint venture of
Finmeccanica's Alenia North America, Inc. and L-3 Integrated
Systems (L-3/IS), a subsidiary of L-3 Communications, will
showcase the C-27J Spartan military transport during the
2005 AUSA Annual Meeting and Exposition.

The C-27J is considered the industry's leading medium lift
cargo aircraft, providing superior performance and best
value to the armed forces of the world. A scale model of the
aircraft will be displayed in the GMAS booth during the
show.

GMAS is offering the C-27J Spartan as the solution for the
U.S. Army's Future Cargo Aircraft (FCA) program. The FCA
program is a key component in the Army's transformation of
its fixed wing fleet, which calls for the procurement of a
new fleet of cargo fixed wing aircraft. To support the
future force, the FCA must be a multifunctional and
interoperable aircraft, able to perform logistical
re-supply, medevac, troop movement, airdrop operations,
humanitarian assistance, and missions in support of Homeland
Security.
