Dubai Airshow: The Falco set for Gulf trials

The system is currently carrying out successful operations with an international partner according to the Finmeccanica subsidiary.

By successfully performing “hand–over” missions involving a number of Ground Control Stations (GCS), full weight catapult launches and multiple payloads, the Falco UAS has demonstrated its reliability, maturity, flexibility, and most importantly its extended capability, positioning the System at the top end of the tactical UAS category.

Another area in terms of market opportunities that Selex has been proving itself is maritime surveillance where Selex Galileo is engaged in supporting friendly and allied nations in protecting land and coastal borders.

With more than 40 systems sold in four continents, the Airborne Tactical Observation and Surveillance (ATOS) System is inherently adaptable to suit customers specific requirements and can integrate anunrivalled range of sensors which span Electro-Optics, to Electronically Scanned and Mechanically Scanned radar, Infrared and future Burst Illumination Ladar products. The most recent contracts for the ATOS system include: the Italian MoD where the ATOS will integrate the Seaspray AESA Radar, the Ecuador Navy (where ATOS will also integrate the Seaspray) and a North African country.
