OUR EXPERTISE IN AIRBORNE SELF-PROTECTION SYSTEMS
-
High level of credibility
Providing a reliable and prioritized threat situation for appropriate self-defense and understanding by the crew.
-
Open & modular architecture offering
The self-protection system integrates Thales sensors and effectors but third-party sensors and effectors as well according to the specific needs for each platform.
-
Upgradeability
Thales proposes fit form upgrades for its self-protection equipment to facilitate technological refresh.
-
Platform agnostic
Thales self-protection systems can be fitted to all types of platforms, such as combat and transport helicopters, ISR, transport, tanker and light attack aircraft, trainers, VIP aircraft and large size UAVs.
Military aircraft are important assets that need to be protected when operating in airspace where sophisticated weapons systems are involved, and require threat situation awareness. Thales provides customized self-protection suites that can integrate several sensors and effectors, including a radar warning receiver (CATS), threat warning systems (Elix-IR), a countermeasures dispensing system (VICON XF), etc.
Self-protection for helicopter - Thales
Military helicopters are carrying out their missions in various and very often complex operational environments. They are facing a wide range of threats and rely on their manoeuvrability and armour but above all on their self-protection system to maintain freedom of action and achieve their missions.
