Eurosatory 2014: Airbus Defence & Space Exhibits Complete Range

Airbus Defence & Space (DS) gives visitors the opportunity to discover systems and services at the Airbus Group Pavilion (D480) :

A complete range of military aircraft solutions:

• UAS with TANAN, TRACKER, and SHADOW 200 present at the show.
• Models of two of our military aircraft: the A400M, now in service with the French and Turkish Air Forces, and the C295.

Protect and connect, in land and land-to-air defence and security:

• SPEXER 1000 radar: with a range up to 18km and an extremely high update rate, this core element of border security systems is able to detect suspicious movements at a very early stage and to locate difficult-to-detect objects with a very low false alarm rate.

Secure communications for defence and security:

• COMCEPT, one of the first secure ultra-fast broadband communications by satellite military network in Europe, using Ka-band and one of the latest IP network solutions on the market, while also optimising costs.
• The TPH900 is the latest generation Tetrapol radio. This robust, hand-portable radio allows mission-critical voice and data communications and is specially designed for easy and solid usability in the field.
• The THR9 Ex Tetra radio, combines certification for operation in explosion-prone areas with user friendliness, a robust design and advanced features to enhance user safety.
• The TH1n, is one of the thinnest and lightest Tetra handsets in the world. It is small enough to be slipped into a pocket, attached to a belt, or carried in a handbag. This makes it ideal for a whole range of users, in addition to those in conventional roles.

Protect and connect in cyberspace:

• Cybersecurity: the innovative Cyber Defence Centre gathers all tools and experts to watch, detect and investigate cyber-attacks. These services include supervision of IT security, early detection of attacks, investigation, remediation and 24/7 anticipation of advanced cyber-attacks. Airbus Defence and Space’s Cyber Defence Centre includes in particular Cymerius supervision and security evolved management solution.

Earth observation satellites, a trump card for intelligence and decision-making:

• The ‘in-orbit proven’ Pléiades satellites, which form with SPOT 6 – and soon SPOT 7 – one of the only constellations in the world capable of taking both high-resolution and very high-resolution images of a selected point anywhere on Earth on a daily basis.
• I4D, jointly demonstrated with Actinct/Weblab, allows users to obtain and to analyse information collected by any intelligence source (Signal Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Imagery Intelligence) on a single virtual globe.
• GO3S (Geostationary Observation Space Surveillance System), an Earth observation satellite project offering continuous real-time acquisition from geostationary orbit.
