Colorado State Patrol gives PC-12 the ISR treatment
CSP has tasked CNC Technologies with providing an upgraded intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system on its Pilatus PC-12. Century Helicopters will complete the work, which keeps the project in Colorado.

The Colorado State Patrol (CSP) is upgrading its Pilatus PC-12 with an intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance (ISR) package from CNC Technologies.

This contract builds upon CNC Technologies' ongoing collaboration with CSP, following the successful completion of a previous Pilatus PC-12 mission enhancement. That project included the integration of an L3 Wescam MX-15 EO/IR camera.

The upcoming aircraft upgrade will be completed at Century Helicopters in Fort Collins, Colorado. CNC Technologies selected Century Helicopters as the partner completion facility for this project, recognising the value of working with a Colorado-based company to ensure seamless execution.

“We are thrilled to partner with the Colorado State Patrol and support its critical public safety mission,” confirms Shannon Mack, vice president, law enforcement sales at CNC Technologies. “Equipping its team with advanced aircraft technology underscores our commitment to providing cutting-edge solutions for law enforcement agencies nationwide. We look forward to a strong and collaborative relationship with the Colorado State Patrol.”

The project is scheduled for completion in June 2025, with final delivery to the Colorado State Patrol later that month.
