This agreement follows previous deliveries of the AMPS system that has been successfully implemented in recent UN programs.
The AMPS missile protection system provides the most enhanced protection for military and civilian aircraft against the growing threat of ground to air missiles (MANPADS). AMPS was developed in cooperation with AIRBUS Defence and Space, and is installed on hundreds of aircraft worldwide. AMPS is fully operational on military and VIP aircraft.
