Embraer and L3Harris are to equip the KC-390 Millennium with a refuelling boom and other equipment under plans to pitch the tanker-transport aircraft to the US Air Force (USAF).

The two companies announced the collaboration to develop the KC-390 Agile Tanker, as the concept is named, on 19 September.

“US Air Force strategic planners have stated Agile Combat Employment (ACE) will require refuelling platforms optimised to support a disaggregated approach to air dominance in contested logistics environments,” Christopher E Kubasik, chair and CEO of L3Harris, was quoted as saying. Embraer president and CEO, Francisco Gomes Neto, added, “We continue seeking meaningful and strategic partnerships that generate new developments and expand the KC-390 Millennium's market reach.”
