Sagem Défense Sécurité and MiG Corporation increase cooperation on fighter planes
Paris – Le Bourget, June 14, 2005 -- Sagem Défense Sécurité (SAFRAN Group) and MiG Russian Aircraft Corporation today signed an agreement protocol at the 46th Paris Air Show. It lays out possible areas of joint development in avionics modernization for future MIG export aircraft.
Over the past years, Sagem Défense Sécurité has become the benchmark for gyrolaser inertial navigation systems used in the different versions of the MiG 29 that are exported.
Both parties now aim to expand this cooperation to cover equipment such as optronic search and track and latest-technology systems as the guided armament AASM and the SAMIR anti-missile warning, for perspective fighter planes, providing them with state-of-the-art aeronautic electronics.
According to Jacques Paccard, the Chief Executive Officer of Sagem Défense Sécurité, “This new cooperation builds on the long and successful experience in integrating SAGEM navigation systems on MiG aircraft for foreign clients. We are delighted with this new agreement.”
