These contracts will cover the Development, Production and Support activities necessary to upgrade a fleet of 24 French HAD to the Mark II configuration. The first delivery is foreseen for mid 2020. The production will last until end of 2023.
This standard will provide new capabilities to the French TIGER HAD helicopters such as laser Guided Rockets (RPM) developed by TDA and a new GPS receiver (SAASM) and CRPA antenna system developed by THALES. Fitted with a semi-active laser seeker, Thales' laser guided rocket offers sub-metric precision and a range of around 6 kilometers. |
