Boeing tactical surveillance aircraft earns additional FAA certification

Boeing will begin offering global customers the Enhanced Medium Altitude Reconnaissance and Surveillance System Risk Reduction Prototype (ERRP) now that the aircraft has received Supplemental Type Certification (STC) from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).

“ERRP’s FAA certification gives us another approved modification in Boeing’s growing family of ISR airplanes,” said John Rader, vice president of Electronic and Sensor Solutions. “ERRP is a high-end signals intelligence aircraft that delivers near-real-time SIGINT to the warfighter, a capability in high demand from militaries around the globe.”

In addition to ERRP, the Boeing family of modified Beechcraft King Air ISR aircraft also includes the Reconfigurable Airborne Multi-Intelligence and Surveillance (RAMIS) aircraft, which has also received both FAA flight and STC certification.
