SELEX
Galileo, a Finmeccanica company, is demonstrating its leadership
in airborne sensors, mission systems and integrated solutions
as part of the Finmeccanica exhibit at the 49th Paris Air
Show at Le Bourget, 20-26 June 2011.

Falco EVO tactical unmanned air system (UAS)
|
|
Building
on a strong pedigree in tactical ISTAR avionics, airborne
radar, electro-optical/infrared (EO/IR) systems, electronic
warfare and self-protection systems, the Company is this
year putting a spotlight on how excellence and innovation
in software, sensors and architecture is being translated
into mission-essential systems capability. The result
is a new generation of advanced sensors and integrated
solutions, matched to the demanding multi-mission, multi-platform
requirements of defence and security forces worldwide.
A
highlight of this year’s show will be the unveiling
of SELEX Galileo’s latest Falco EVO tactical unmanned
air system (UAS). Capitalising on the proven high-end
tactical Falco UAS, Falco EVO complements the Falco by
extending the wings to accommodate a substantially increased
multi-payload capacity and offering increased endurance
(in excess of 18 hours).
Also
integrated on the Falco EVO is PicoSAR, a compact and
lightweight Active Electronic Scanned Array (AESA) radar,
the ESM/ ELINT system SAGE and the EO turret EOST 46

Recognising the growing requirement for
homeland security and maritime domain awareness, SELEX Galileo
continues to develop its ATOS airborne tactical observation
system. In service with 9 national and international customers,
ATOS brings together multiple sensor inputs to enable wide
area picture compilation, data fusion and analysis and guaranteed-effective
mission management. ATOS features a full range of proprietary
sensors, EO/IR and radar, such as the M-scan Gabbiano radar
and the Seaspray AESA radar.
Demonstrating
Seaspray’s multi-platform appeal, SELEX Galileo was
recently selected to supply its Seaspray 7500E to meet an
Asian customer’s requirement for a long range, long
endurance, border surveillance sensor elevated to altitude
using a tethered aerostat.
In
the air combat arena, SELEX Galileo presents some of its
flagship solutions in situational awareness and protection.
For customers requiring high performance M-scan radar, SELEX
Galileo offers its fourth generation Grifo lightweight pulse-doppler
radar as an ideal choice for fighter upgrades and new production
aircraft. In service with five international customers and
with over 180,000 flying hours, the Grifo continues to receive
great interest from customers, especially in the upgrade
market. At this year’s show, SELEX Galileo will be
announcing the latest contract for this unique, operationally
proven sensor.
Addressing
the market for AESA fire control radar, SELEX Galileo will
be promoting its Captor-E AESA solution for the Eurofighter,
RAVEN ES for the Gripen NG and Vixen radar. These best-in-class,
next generation radar systems strongly position the Company
to cover all segments of the sector.
With
its long history of designing and integrating electronic
warfare and defensive suites, SELEX Galileo is trusted worldwide
to deliver responsive, user-friendly airborne self-protection
systems. |

The ECLIPSE is a stabilised, two-axis pointer tracker designed
for use as part of the Directed InfraRed CounterMeasure
(DIRCM) System. |
|
On show
at Le Bourget are two of the latest additions to the Company’s
protection solutions range: SEER, an all-digital radar warning
receiver providing unambiguous threat warning and emitter
identification and SAGE, a new electronic support measure
system which is designed to provide both manned and unmanned
platforms with a comprehensive radar-band signals analysis
and geo-location function.
Also on display is the ECLIPSE,
a cost-effective, lightweight, stabilised, two-axis pointer
tracker designed for use as part of the Directed InfraRed
Counter Measure (DIRCM) system. The design capitalises on
DIRCM pedigree, formulated through the design and delivery
of over 1000 combat-proven transmitters to Northrop Grumman
Corporation for use in its AN/ AAQ-24(V) NEMESIS DIRCM system.
SELEX Galileo will also
exhibit the VigilX, its latest solution for rotary wing
situational awareness. Combining distributed sensor technology
with advanced image processing algorithms, VigilX presents
aircrew with a fused 360° panoramic image, effectively
enabling them to ‘see through’ the airframe
to ensure all-round situational awareness.
With the recent acquisition
of a small Italian company specialising in mini UAS, SELEX
Galileo will demonstrate at Le Bourget the “perch
and stare” capabilities of the ASIO mini VTOL and
of the CREX- B. |
