C-17 Globemaster

BAE Systems develops and produces electronic systems that govern the flight of aircraft, manage the delivery of cargo, oversee navigation and other mission-critical functions, and control onboard utilities such as electrical and fuel systems. Continual upgrades to these systems ensure that the C-17 maintains its effectiveness and flexibility for all types of missions.

Since its engineers began work in 1989 on the electronic flight control system for the U.S. Air Force’s newest airlifter, BAE Systems has taken on an increasingly important role on the C-17 Globemaster III. Today, BAE Systems is the transport’s premier avionics supplier, and its products play a central role in the war on terrorism and other military missions.
