Airbus completes SIGNALIS integration
Airbus subsidiary SIGNALIS has been fully integrated into Airbus' communications, intelligence and security (CIS) business, Airbus announced on 19 February.
SIGNALIS was established as an Airbus subsidiary in 2011. Now, as a fully integrated member of the Airbus brand, the business is the group's centre of maritime surveillance competence.
The integration will make Airbus’ maritime surveillance business much stronger and more competitive than a single entity, and will allow the group to more effectively meet growing demand in the maritime surveillance sector.
Evert Dudok, head of CIS, said: ‘Today, with the reorganisation, we have brought all the maritime surveillance experts in the security solutions domain together in order to structure and strengthen Airbus Defence and Space´s position as a leading maritime company. Airbus Defence and Space has the ability to become one of the leaders in the maritime security market.’
