Night Navigation (Ferry, Air-to-Air, Air-to-Surface Missiles)
Comments
The Challenger 650 aircraft is the current production version of the model that the CAF currently operates. This commonality will result in significant benefits in efficiency, cost, and interoperability, both in terms of training and support to operations.
