Supporting global security forces

To defend national sovereignty, armed forces require robust, technologically advanced aircraft. Our fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms support the full spectrum of military operations, from combat and strategic transport to reconnaissance and air-to-air refuelling. Whether delivering personnel to operational theatres or conducting search and rescue missions, the unique versatility of our platforms provides customers with a critical edge in the most demanding terrains.

Monitoring from above

Our uncrewed aerial systems act as a force multiplier, extending the reach and capabilities of our customers. For intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance missions, systems like Eurodrone, Flexrotor and the Zephyr support national security by providing persistent, real-time monitoring. In naval operations, drones like Aliaca and SIRTAP enhance maritime awareness and threat detection. Paired with crewed aircraft, our UAS increase mission effectiveness, providing vital support for the most demanding surveillance and security operations.

Supporting connectivity

Military space capabilities strengthen a nation’s ability to plan and conduct operations by providing communication, navigation, and real-time intelligence and surveillance services. Armed forces require connectivity across all domains. We therefore develop secure and cyber-resilient connectivity solutions that enable them to connect every asset, from air platforms (aircraft, helicopters, satellites, drones), to ground-based command centres and mobile units.
