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.
The airborne three-domain, the two ground-based and the ¼ ATR OpenVPX-based cross-domain systems were engineered to provide real-time security across multi-domain operations.
DARPA’s Mission-Integrated Network Control (MINC) programme was set up to develop an autonomous tactical network and enable critical data flow in contested environments.
Why space is an essential part of modern military capabilities
Defence-secure mixed reality headsets can save hours, or even weeks, of travel time to fix defunct equipment or get subject experts effectively “on-site” where they are needed.
The Joint Counter Radio-Controlled Improvised Explosive Device Electronic Warfare (JCREW) counter-improvised explosive device (C-IED) and Drone Restricted Access Using Known Electromagnetic Warfare (DRAKE) counter-UAS (CUAS) systems are mounted and dismounted RF jammers.
Adarga’s Vantage information analysis tool is in service with the UK MoD and individual UK forces. It builds on the company’s Knowledge Platform which processes, organises and analyses open source material, as well as information held by the user’s military, security and intelligence services.
