The Britten Norman BN2-T has a wide variety of applications from essentially civilian roles, executive transport and commuter, to special mission applications. In our view it is within those, special mission fields that the BN2-T excels.
Although seen by some as old technology, the BN2-T provides a credible alternative to BVLOS UAS systems particularly in its coastguard, border protection and law enforcement applications. Capable of carrying SAR, LIDAR, maritime radar, various EO/IR cameras plus various customer fit technologies as well as a complement of rear operators, the BN2-T offers as much, if not more, than contemporary non-military BVLOS platforms for a similar price point.
While the Beechcraft King Air has become a favourite amongst many government applications, the high wing of the Islander, enhanced visibility and its slow speed handing, continue to make the Britten Norman BN2-T a worthy ISR platform. However the Islander is not limited to these tasks, with over 2,000+ STC’s for the Britten Norman aircraft allowing it to be readily adapted into a number of other special mission orientated roles which include:
The Britten Norman BN2-T Islander is an excellent platform for a range of applications where carrying capacity, STOL and dwell time count more than speed (a particular sweetspor being coastal and land based ISR). The non-pressurised cabin of the Islander also provides as execellent platform upon which a wide range of modifications can be applied relatively simply and cost effectively, compared to pressurised alternatives such as the King Air.
The ISR Mission Systems team are adept in taking a CONOPS challenge and designing a full ISR architecture for the Britten Norman BN2-T Islander.
At the core of the BN2-T Mission System capability is our ISO9001, CAA / EASA Part 21 J & G, MAA DAOS approved organisation that undertakes a broad range of design and production services to supply avionic, structural design and certification to the BN-2T’s ISR role including
