The U.S. Government issued an RFI seeking industry information for the High Accuracy Detection and Exploitation System (HADES), including requirements for up to eleven Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft to support an integrated ISR system. The notice requests capability statements covering aircraft platform requirements, operational flying hour cost, delivery timelines, and Rough Order of Magnitude cost estimates; anticipated locations are CONUS and OCONUS with an anticipated ordering period of 10 years. Key aircraft performance goals include operating between 41,000-51,000 feet MSL after integration of a 6,500 lb mission equipment package, at least 14,000 lb payload capacity, 12+ hours unrefueled endurance, and sustained transit speeds ≥450 KTAS.
