Bombardier Defense is proud to announce that its Global 6500 aircraft will support South Korea's Electronic Warfare (EW) program. The Global 6500 aircraft was already selected to be the platform for the country's Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) program.
Korean Air recently formalized the purchase of two Bombardier Global 6500 aircraft for the Electronic Warfare program, and celebrated its collaboration with Bombardier Defense with a signing ceremony in Seoul.
"The Global 6500 aircraft is in demand around the world because of its performance and versatility, and we're extremely proud that it was chosen for two very advanced, yet different defense missions in South Korea," said Michael Anckner, Vice-President, Worldwide Sales, Bombardier Defense. "This aircraft is trusted because of its proven military track record, yet it remains highly adaptable as defense needs evolve."
Korean Air's formal purchase of Bombardier Defense aircraft comes after L3Harris Technologies announced in October 2025 that the company received a contract to deliver modified Global 6500 AEW&C aircraft to the Republic of Korea Air Force.
The two additional Global 6500 aircraft will perform an EW role, more specifically a Stand Off Jammer (SOJ) mission, which allows for the disruption of enemy electromagnetic signals from a safe distance.
The Global 6500 aircraft is the preferred platform for many nations seeking to increase their airborne defense capabilities. Its long range and ability to operate at high altitude make it ideal for South Korea's needs as well as the needs of countries around the world. It is the go-to choice for Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR), multi-role, medical evacuation and head of state transport, and is highly adaptable to the outer-mold-line manipulation required to integrate advanced mission systems and equipment.
