MEBA10: Vigiplane to survey Empire Aviation jets

“Business jets can be subject to a variety of risks, usually when parked, where security can be rudimentary,” said Blue Green Technology MD Bruno Petit. “This includes theft and vandalism or damage caused by unidentified traffic movements on the airfield.

“The Vigiplane system is completely autonomous. It installs in less than two minutes on the front of the aircraft’s landing gear. The system, once locked on, cannot be released or removed. It provides intrusion detection, shooting real-time pictures, backing up of all received information and transmitting alarms via cellular networks and satellite to the Vigiplane monitor centre.”

A peripheral module installed on the chock guarantees a 360 field of detection.

Access to the Vigiplane secure web server is enabled by user name and password.

The French company, which started business in 2007, already has one very well known VIP customer – President Nicolas Sarkozy, who has it installed on his A330. Dassault is another customer.

“We are excited to work with Empire Aviation,” said Petit. “The Middle East is a thriving market in business aviation. We make sure we work closely with our agent, AGI, in this region.”
