As for the Falcon 2000 MRA, the concept of the Falcon 900 MPA builds up directly on lessons learnt from:

• The Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft "Atlantique" family delivered to five different Navies and Air Forces.
• The Falcon family aircraft modified for Maritime Surveillance and operated by the French Navy and by several foreign Coast Guards.

It is a unique concept of high performance, low cost and low risk development, Long Range Maritime Patrol Aircraft.

The Falcon 900 MPA, derived from the Falcon 900 DX business jet, is perfectly sized for maritime patrol missions. It is persistent, capable and safe. From the onset of the program, the state-of-the-art mission system and the sensors suite, as well as the platform have been developed with the necessary growth potential provisions, in order to meet new requirements that could arise during the long life of the aircraft.
