Cassidian will present entire range security solutions for aerospace Paris Air Show 2011 1106111.

All UAS R&T and projects are managed by a unique programme organisation that allows cross-fertilisation between production systems and new projects
Experience throughout the life-cycle and the whole range of UAS
Outstanding innovation and mastery of international collaboration
Use of Battle-Lab to capture requirements, plus state-of-the-art development and support tools
Cassidian’s approach to Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) is a global one: background knowledge of key technologies (e.g. aircraft design, precise navigation, flight software architecture, standardised interfaces, mission planning, etc. gained from decades of experience with manned air systems), used and adapted to meet the requirements of unmanned aerial systems operations (e.g. air traffic requirements, sensor control, air vehicle control), results in overall Unmanned Aerial Systems solutions.

On the static display, CASSIDIAN will present: combat proven UAS with the DRAC presented by French Army servants who operated it in Afghanistan, videos presenting HARFANG last accomplishments and the future MALE TALARION with a scale 1 mock-up.

At the Paris Air Show, Cassidian will demonstrate its experience in protecting highly sensitive and complex networks, and particularly in protecting critical national infrastructures. Indeed, in an increasingly computerised world, critical infrastructures can only operate to maximum effect if they are interconnected and interdependent. The failure of just one link in the chain can have consequences extending far beyond national borders. One of the challenges in the future will therefore be to protect these infrastructures. In its Touch Lab, using a 3D scenario to illustrate critical national infrastructures Cassidian will stage a cyber attack along with its proposed solutions for warding off such threats.

At the Paris Air Show, Cassidian will for the first time display a flight demonstration symbolizing Cassidian's fleet and training services. Four training aircraft which could be proposed as a complete training pipeline of a fighter pilot will be presented: initial training (APM 40 Simba), elementary and basic training (Grob 120 A), basic and advanced training (Pilatus PC-21) and advanced training (Aermacchi M346). Cassidian has offered these aircraft, among others, to various European Air Forces for training purposes. One CATS aircraft will also be displayed on the Static with a representative working at the Cognac flight training school.

The skills and know-how of the CATS personnel provide French Air Force pilots with training facilities using state-of-the art, high-performance equipment at a significantly lower cost (approx. 30%).
Based on the success of its services to the French Air Force over the past five years, Cassidian Air Systems will also present its service offerings for fighter and transport pilot training.

The combat aircraft features extreme agility, integrated systems, an optimum human-machine interface, advanced precision-guided armament, sensor data fusion, integration into military data networks and latest production technologies, e.g. the use of carbon fibre composite materials (CFCs). Eurofighter is still at the beginning of its in-service life and thus enjoys an enormous growth potential.
