AIR SYSTEMS FROM SELEX GALILEO

SELEX Galileo is at the forefront of the design, development and integration of leading airborne sensing solutions for a variety of military and government aircraft. These advanced sensors are characterised by a truly open architecture, enabling them to be installed on new or retrofit platforms where they can be fully integrated or stand alone additions.

Our Electro-Optic (EO) systems provide high resolution surveillance capability and enhanced vision for aircrew. Our EO sub-systems include high power lasers for long range designation of ground targets (selected for the Lockheed Martin Sniper pod and Joint Strike Fighter EO targeting system), long range target identification systems using Burst Illumination and world leading dual band cameras.

Our systems are designed to improve mission effectiveness, enhance survivability and be affordable throughout their service life. By increasing the use of COTS components, we aim to ensure affordable capability with the effective insertion of state-of-the-art technology.

Our Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) such as ASIO, FALCO and Mirach 100/5 lead the way in today’s networked battlespace. With a combination of our unique experience in mission systems, avionics simulation and real-time operation capability, we are able to increase situational awareness.

SELEX Galileo offers a full range of multimode M-scan radar with proven reliability and low lifecycle costs with over 2000 radar for surveillance and fire control operating on a vast number of fixed and rotary wing aircraft including Tornado, Future Lynx and AW 101 helicopters. The Captor radar is deployed in front line service on the Eurofighter Typhoon, the ENR for the NH 90 and the Sostar/ TCAR radar for the NATO AGS. We are Europe's leading supplier of airborne radars.

With a strong commitment to innovation and technical excellence, the company plays a leading role in major international airborne military programmes such as Praetorian, with defensive aids suites developed for the Typhoon, AH-64 Apache helicopter, Merlin and Super Lynx.

LAND SYSTEMS FROM SELEX GALILEO

SELEX Galileo is a provider of advanced integrated solutions for Armoured Fighting Vehicles and land based protection, surveillance, tracking and detection requirements.

SELEX Galileo has a strong track record in providing state-of-the-art products such as turrets, weapon sights, day and night vision systems, remote weapon stations and unattended ground sensors. The modular architecture of the systems make them ideal for new or retrofit opportunities and can be stand-alone additions or be fully integrated with a weapon system.

SELEX Galileo is the acknowledged world leader in Acoustic Weapon Locating systems, and has been for more than forty years. More than 20 major armies worldwide maintain SELEX Galileo AWL in-service. With the Hostile Artillery Locating system (HALO), SELEX Galileo leads the way in fourth generation techniques for acoustic weapon locating.

SELEX Galileo Drivers Night Vision System (DNVS) is a passive, multi-spectral, wide-angle indirect view observation system. Designed to enhance the operability of an armoured fighting vehicle, the DNVS provides optimum vision and improved situation awareness for today's 24-hour all-weather battlefield environment.

Mobile Surveillance Units (MSUs) from SELEX Galileo

The Company has over 40 years experience in providing leading edge acoustic weapon detection systems. The Hostile Artillery Locating (HALO) system leads the way in new generation techniques of acoustic weapon and has been in service with the British Army since 2002. HALO is also in service with the United States Marine Corps as well as other international forces.

Drawing on the wider product portfolio of the Finmeccanica Group, SELEX Galileo is currently positioning itself to prime major land vehicle programmes including Future Rapid Effect System (FRES) and Warrior Lethality Improvement Programme (WLIP). For the digitisation of the battlefield, the Company has developed a set of compact, lightweight sensors to deliver an integrated situational awareness package increasing survivability and mission effectiveness for the Italian Army.

SELEX Galileo is a major supplier of Electro-Optics (EO) with over 50 years of experience in delivering leading edge EO and thermal imaging capabilities. The Company also delivers communications and network systems to a world-wide customer base, both military and civil.

We are currently investing in the development of new technologies in order to provide our customers with the capability they require to meet current and future threats.

SEA SYSTEMS FROM SELEX GALILEO

SELEX Galileo has extensive experience in radar and Electro-Optic (EO) sensors for naval applications dating back to the 1960’s. With precision approach and navigation radars, surveillance, countermeasures, seekers, fire control systems, infrared Search and Track, and Seekers for S/S missiles, the Company participates in all major programmes of Italian and other European Navies and offers highly competitive integrated solutions.

SELEX Galileo wireless datalink system consists of two wirelessly connected units suitable for land sea and air operations. It is an air qualified product that has been successfully demonstrated on a range of land, sea and air intercom systems.

SELEX Galileo SiGMA thermal imager core has been integrated with a 3rd generation 640 X 512 quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIP) array. Available for original equipment manufacturer applications, Hunter provides a high-resolution thermal imaging capability in the long infrared waveband.

The SIREN active off-board decoy from SELEX Galileo is launched to defeat a missile in the final stages of its attack, even after its radar seeker head has locked onto the target ship. The decoy transmits a powerful and highly directional jamming signal towards the threat missile, disrupting its guidance system and seducing it away from the target.

HOMELAND SECURITY FROM SELEX GALILEO

Civil authorities around the world are faced with emerging challenges in border control, domestic security, protection of critical infrastructure and information control.

SELEX Galileo offers solutions based on cutting-edge technologies and sub-system integration expertise. Already a leading supplier of radar, infrared and acoustic sensors, we are heavily investing in detectors for explosives, chemicals, and biological and nuclear substances. More importantly, our area of expertise lies within integrating these technologies. Systems are developed using superior products developed in-house, from the wider Finmeccanica group and those procured.

With integrated systems on land, sea and air platforms utilising communication and processing technologies, backed up by comprehensive support mechanisms, we provide complete solutions to our customers’ needs. Our military operational experience allows us to develop technologies and systems supporting police, customs, immigration, coastguard, intelligence and other civilian services.

Our complete-system approach ensures that we provide well-designed, well-supported solutions; ones that not only detect threats, but communicate and interpret the data to support decision makers in their response.
