The G3000 integrated flight deck will provide the latest communication, navigation, surveillance air traffic management capabilities to the USSOCOM.

Garmin said that the AT-802U Sky Warden platform will be the first forward-deployed combat aircraft to feature Garmin’s G3000 system.

According to Garmin, L3Harris has already installed a variety of communications equipment, weapons systems, military sensors and its mission management system into the G3000’s touchscreen human-machine interface.

Additionally, L3Harris can rapidly integrate new technologies with this G3000 flight deck to ensure the system has all the latest avionic technologies.

The integrated system also includes a traffic collision avoidance system, terrain awareness and warning system and automatic dependent surveillance-broadcast traffic.

Garmin aviation sales and marketing vice-president Carl Wolf said: “Our strategic relationship with L3Harris integrates open system architecture G3000 flight deck as a critical enabler for Sky Warden’s close air support and armed intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) mission.”
