If the Global 6500 is built with the intention and design allows for the aircraft to be modified for the radar systems, and hopefully IFR, before systems integration, there could be cost and time savings. This approach would avoid the purchase of a standard 6500 and then breaking it down and installing new frames and skin before integrating the AEW systems.

Pretty certain that the Danes would allow modification unlike our Murican “Allies”…

Noah, is this development connected somehow to Bombardier’s purchase of the Mitsubishi facility?
