France receives first Archange electronic-intelligence aircraft in Évreux
France's Air and Space Force received on October 7 at the 105 air base in Évreux the first Archange electronic-intelligence aircraft, a Dassault Aviation Falcon 8X fitted with Thales mission systems. The aircraft enters a technical-operational experimentation phase with the CEAM before full service entry. The program foresees three aircraft for the Dunkerque squadron and aims to restore the capability France lost with the retirement of its Transall C-160G Gabriel in May 2022.
