HELICOPTERS TO INSTALL LAST GENERATION AVIONICS & ARMAMENT
17 June 2003 - Sagem Communication
| An enlargement of combat capabilities of 'Mi-24/Mi-35' type helicopters due to installation of the last generation avionics and armament, is considered by military and political leadership of the states having the mentioned helicopters in their inventory, as a priority. |
Russian and French specialists intend to join their efforts in proposing the upgradation of on-board avionics and armament of 'Mi-24/Mi-35' type helicopters in the interests of foreign customers. The basis of this partnership will be the world-recognised experience of the Russian helicopter manufacturing fitted with the latest developments in avionics of the French company SAGEM, interacting with above 20 countries in the area of military electronics. This joint proposal offers great benefits to the armed forces using 'Mi-24/Mi-35' type helicopters, precisely : - provides reliability and guarantee of safety of helicopter's operation due to
introduction of developed changes into its systems (fuselage, avionics,
armament);
- facilitates introduction of up-to-date avionics systems fully implemented on the
module basis and compatible with European most advanced programmes;
- provides full compatibility with radio-electronic systems operational in the
countries of Western Europe;
- gives an opportunity to combine fire control systems of different origin, in
particular, Russian and NATO ones, due to the use of unique avionics. Meanwhile, high-profiled Russian and French state agencies, precisely Military-Technical Co-operation Committee of Russia (KVTS) and Delegation General pour l'Armement of France, provide political and military-technical support to this joint project. Besides, both Russian and French sides adhere to a flexible policy of payment by potential customers for upgradation of helicopters and are ready to offer different financing schemes, including usage of capabilities of the states.
