The Flight2 integrated avionics system comprises a suite of communications, navigation and surveillance equipment that integrates new-generation avionics with legacy sensors, radios, autopilot and aircraft systems, Rockwell stated.

Flight2 is also architecture-compliant with communications, navigation, surveillance and air traffic management systems (CNS/ATM).

The system is currently installed on 15 Greek C-130s, in addition to flying on more than 900 fixed-wing aircraft, including the KC-135, KC-10, C-130 P-3, C-2A, E-2C and E-3.

The P-3 can be used for submarine hunting, over-land peacekeeping and surveillance, targeting strike points on the ground and relaying real-time video surveillance.

The aircraft are also able to assist by scouting ahead of ground convoys, warning of potential dangers and protecting shipping lanes, among other functions.
