| The Boeing Maritime Surveillance Aircraft (MSA) |
Built on a Bombardier Challenger platform, the MSA recently completed initial ground and flight testing and is ideal for monitoring large coastal areas, long-range search and rescue situations and humanitarian efforts.
Members of the media can tour the aircraft, as well as, experience a dual screen mission crew workstation showing how the MSA uses a combination of the latest military and commercial technologies to deliver maximum capability, it said.
The F/A-18E/F Super Hornet can operate seamlessly with Malaysia's existing F/A-18D Hornet fleet and improve combat effectiveness of the aircraft in joint operations.
"Malaysia is currently evaluating the Super Hornet for its multi-role combat aircraft requirements.
"The Malaysian Armed Forces, government leaders and visiting members of the ASEAN will be able to see the MSA, Super Hornet and AH-6i Light Attack/Reconnaissance helicopter platforms first-hand to better understand the capabilities we offer our customers.
"The mission effectiveness, operational reliability and best-in-industry support for Boeing's products are recognised worldwide.
"The LIMA provides an ideal setting to present our defence, maritime surveillance, search and rescue and, humanitarian aid offerings to ASEAN leaders," said Jim Armington, Vice-President, East Asia & Pacific, International Business Development for Defence, Space & Security in a statement.
