Sagem, HAL sign Sigma 95 technology transfer
Sagem and Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) have signed a technology transfer agreement for Sagem's Sigma 95 laser gyro navigation systems, as announced on 18 February.
The agreement will see HAL manufacture and maintain the Sigma 95 high-performance navigation system in India. It will be able to produce all the system units for the Indian Air Force and provide Level 3 front line maintenance services.
The system was developed by Sagem for rotary-wing and fixed-wing combat aircraft. It is an autonomous, hybrid laser gyro inertial/GPS-Glonass navigation system. It can withstand severe environments and give military aircraft a high degree of navigation precision and operational flexibility. It can also support the aircraft in areas without GPS signals.
With this agreement, Sagem has further consolidated its partnership with the Indian aerospace industry. Its laser gyro navigation systems are already in use by several combat aircraft in the Indian Navy and Air Force, as well as on military aircraft in France and other countries, including the Airbus A400M Atlas, and the NH90 and EC725 Caracal transport and special forces helicopters.
