Brunswick Corporation (BC) announced that its vessels, Mercury Marine propulsion systems, and Navico Group electronics and electrical systems will provide the platform for Textron Systems' (TXT) TSUNAMI Uncrewed Surface Vessels, following Textron Systems' contract award from the Defense Innovation Unit.

Textron Aviation announced its new service facility at Essendon Fields Airport in Melbourne is now open for customers, expanding factory-direct support for Cessna, Beechcraft and Hawker customers across Australia and the Asia-Pacific region. The purpose-built facility strengthens Textron Aviation's global service network and reflects the company's long-term commitment to expanding capacity and enhancing customer support throughout aircraft ownership, the company said in a statement.

Textron Aviation achieved a milestone as the first three Cessna Citation Ascend business jets were delivered to fleet launch customer NetJets. NetJets, which operates the world's largest, most diverse private jet fleet, is the first private fleet operator to take delivery and begin operations with the Cessna Citation Ascend. The company said, "Setting new standards in performance, comfort and operational efficiency for the midsize business jet market, the Citation Ascend builds on the longstanding relationship between Textron Aviation and NetJets by offering owners a seamless progression of advanced aircraft designed to deliver exceptional reliability, efficiency and luxury."
