King Air Modifications
SNC is a premier integrator of King Air special-mission aircraft, delivering multi-sensor, quick-reaction capability modifications and deployment support services globally across U.S. defense agencies and international mission partners. Our upgraded sensors, communications networks, signals (SIGINT) and communications intelligence (COMINT) packages provide a mission-critical advantage.
SNC engineers and technicians bring over two decades and hundreds of thousands of hours of aircraft integration expertise. We prioritize modular, open systems architectures (MOSA) that enable repeatable modification frameworks to ensure rapid capability insertion, lifecycle extensibility and operational dominance across ISR, border security, mobility and special operations missions.
Modular System Architecture
Flexible, repeatable and certified modification framework enabling rapid upgrades and future-proof payload expansion
Enhanced Special Mission Operations
Advanced Modification Facilities
Mission Enhancement Kit (MEK)
SNC’s MEK provides customers with greater mission capabilities, diversified basing options, increased aircraft performance and safety.
Nose Extension & EO/IR Lift
STC for the King Air series nose extension allows the sensor to be deployed and retracted in flight without altering the aircraft’s flight characteristics.
Integral Antenna Winglet
Our Integral Antenna Winglet places the antennas inside the aircraft winglets, providing maximum separation from other antennas and apertures, optimizing signal integrity. Available for both active communications and passive collection.
Common Systems Radome (CSR)
Designed for both upper and lower radome installations, the CSR enables seamless integration of broadband, high-gain SATCOM terminals across X-, Ku- and Ka-band architectures.
KA-350ER Global Xpress Satellite Terminal
This capability provides high-performance, reliable and affordable airborne satellite communications to maintain real-time digital communications with mission partners and disseminate critical intelligence.
