Selex
ES’s presence in the UAE to date has seen the company providing
integrated naval systems for combat management, naval radars and fire

At
IDEX the Company is promoting surveillance mission systems for manned
and unmanned platforms including the ATOS and SkyISTAR, leading-edge AESA
radar and airspace surveillance radar including the Seapsray and PAR families,
EW and EO systems for fixed and rotary wing applications and the latest
in DIRCM technology. Also on show are data links and integrated cybersecurity
solutions and Selex ES is showcasing its interoperable command and control
systems for vehicles and dismounted soldiers featured as part of the Italian
Forza Nec programme for Armed Forces digitization. As a major part of the Eurofighter Typhoon programme, Selex ES is also supporting the aircraft’s campaign activity at the show. The company's more than 65% contribution to the Eurofighter Typhoon's mission critical systems, avionics and sensors includes its radar, IRST and DASS. The UAE’s increased focus on homeland security opens up a range of potential collaboration areas in military and civil domains that tie directly into the strengths of Selex ES. The company’s ability to develop complex integrated systems for homeland protection combine the expertise of Finmeccanica’s companies and existing assets within network-centred operating environments. These can be used to control and protect national borders, roads, airports, railway stations and critical infrastructure. Other promising future opportunities for Selex ES in the UAE include the National G4 Network for Armed Forces and the Future Soldier Program. “Selex ES is unmatched when it comes to the depth and breadth of defence electronics expertise we can offer” said Selex ES CEO Fabrizio Giulianini, adding “Whether our customers need enhanced security or an innovative civil solution, Selex ES has the experience and skills to make it happen. We’re proud to be putting our most advanced technology on show in Abu Dhabi.” |
