SAGEM & STN ATLAS ELEKTRONIK SIGN MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING IN FIELD OF UAVS
02 July 2003 - Sagem Communication
| SAGEM and STN ATLAS Elektronik have signed a memorandum of understanding in the field of UAVs. The first aim of this agreement is to develop full interoperability between the two companies' UAV systems, more particularly between SAGEM's SPERWER and STN Atlas' KZO/TAIFUN. |
Through such interoperability, the six countries operating these UAVs will benefit from a common command and control infrastructure for the evaluation and exchange of tactical intelligence, surveillance and targeting data. Using the two companies' skills and experience will allow widening the scope of the missions until now carried out by the existing tactical systems. The agreement also plans to complement the existing UAV range thus constituted by adding further elements which will meet the new requirements the armed forces are facing, as regards the tactical UAV segment. STN ATLAS Elektronik, with its Land and Airborne Systems, Simulation Systems and Naval Systems divisions is one of the leading companies in the defense electronic sector in Europe and in the world. With its long experience and system competence in modular unmanned airborne vehicles for the missions of Reconnaissance, Electronic Warfare and Combat, STN ATLAS currently is responsible for the comprehensive German system family of UAVs; e.g. the target localisation KZO and the TAIFUN combat UAV. The Bremen based company is a member of Rheinmetall DeTec AG, the management holding for all defence activities, within the Rheinmetall group.
