Sagem Défense Sécurité unveils EUROFLIR: the new airborne optronics system
Eurosatory Exhibition, Villepinte, June 16, 2008 -- Sagem Défense Sécurité (Groupe SAFRAN) will be exhibiting for the first time on its stand at Eurosatory 2008 EUROFLIRTM, its new high-performance airborne optronics unit.
EUROFLIRTM is a multifunction airborne surveillance system that makes use of the company’s best current know-how in sensors, gyrostabilization, platform integration, image processing, chain-of-command insertion, operational maintenance.
On its gyrostabilized platform, EUROFLIRTM can contain up to four sensors: latest generation infrared cameras, television optical channel, laser telemeter and eye safe laser designator, chosen according to operational needs. It provides enhanced performances in terms of identification and range, thanks to an infrared optic zoom with continuous enlargement.
Following international bidding, EUROFLIRTM was selected early 2008 for the overhaul of the French Army’s Light Aviation’s Eurocopter AS 532 Cougar helicopters.
EUROFLIRTM also meets the domestic security needs of nation-states: threat prevention and protection for civilians, territory and land and maritime entry points.
Sagem Défense Sécurité’s optronic equipment and systems cover all armed and security forces’ operational needs for all types of platforms (i.e. piloting, reconnaissance, surveillance, alerts and sighting) in the harshest environments.
