BIRD Aerosystems, a global provider of innovative defense technology and solutions that protect the air, sea, and land fleets of governments and related agencies, is honored to announce that the company was chosen by the Israeli Ministry of Defense (MOD) through MAFAT – the Defense Ministry’s Directorate of Research and Development, to demonstrate a prototype of a new defense system that will protect ground troops and high-value assets against various kinds of threats and missiles, including anti-tank guided missiles (ATGM).
The new defense system prototype will include a small innovative radar, based on the confirmation and tracking radar implemented in BIRD’s operationally-proven SPREOS. Small and lightweight, the new radar will conduct detection and verification of the threat, and then deploy and guide the system countermeasures to intercept the threat.
Taking the unique abilities of BIRD’s renowned SPREOS DIRCM to novel arenas, the new defense system prototype will provide effective and precise protection to the ground forces.
The project is currently under advanced stages of development, and the company is expected to conduct a demonstration of the complete defense system during 2022.
Ronen Factor, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Founder at BIRD Aerosystems:
“As an expert in the field of Doppler Radar technology, BIRD is constantly investing in the research and development of new solutions and technologies to provide our customers smart and effective protection against missile threats. Always growing and expanding our innovative technology to new fields and solutions, we are honored to be chosen by the Israeli MOD and MAFAT for this project, and are confident that our unique technology will provide its added value in further fields and arenas.”
The order, placed by a long-standing NATO client, includes the supply of systems to protect the VIP Dassault Falcon 7X and Airbus A319 aircraft. Delivery is expected in 2025 and also includes system maintenance services,” Bird stated in a press release.
