The Taiwan’s Ministry of National Defense announced on July 28 that Taiwan has signed a $343 million contract with the United States to purchase six sets of MS-110 multispectral airborne reconnaissance pods.
Collins Aerospace MS-110 represents the next generation of the widely deployed DB-110 dual band airborne reconnaissance system providing day and night-time, wide area, long-range imagery coverage.
MS-110 integrates seamlessly into the existing DB-110 system CONOPS and architecture, employing common ground support equipment. The sensor is compatible with carriage on advanced fighters (US F-16, F-15 and F/A-18 as well as Gripen and other fast jet platforms), C-130s, MPA class aircraft, ISR business jets and MALE UAVs such as MQ-9.
