News BIRD & Hensoldt Sign Follow-On Contract

[Test7]

Developer of the Airborne Missile Protection Systems (AMPS) and Airborne Surveillance, Information, and Observation (ASIO) solutions BIRD Aerosystems has received a follow-on contract to develop additional advanced capabilities for its Radar Control and Display (RCD) that controls the Hensoldt PrecISR™ advanced multi-mode radar family.
After successfully completing the first phase of development and customisation of the RCD to the PrecISR™ earlier this year, the next phase of development has been agreed upon by the companies and will include developing specific and more advanced capabilities tailoured for Hensoldt customers.
The new capabilities to be implemented by the RCD include Dynamic SAR imagery footprints, control of multi-layered data visualisation, and enhanced real-time radar information and status. Furthermore, the RCD system will be integrated with additional surveillance sensors used by the customers along with the Hensoldt Radar.
The follow-on contract and the new capabilities that will be developed under it are all focused on customising the RCD for new customers and programmes. BIRD will also provide an ILS package that includes RCD training and system documentation, to be provided to Hensoldt and its Customers.
