BIRD Aerosystems, a provider of defense technology and solutions, and land fleets of governments and related agencies, and Česká letecká servisní (ČLS), a division of CSG Aerospace that specializes in the integration and modernization of avionics systems, announced cooperation aimed at expanding their joint marketing efforts and meeting the increasing demand for advanced airborne missile protection systems (AMPS) in Central Europe.
The strategic cooperation arrives after the two companies have already joined forces on several successful projects, where BIRD’s AMPS airborne missile protection systems, including the SPREOS DIRCM, were provided and installed on aircraft of European customers. By joining forces, both companies aim to strengthen their presence in the European market, expand their customer base, and effectively address the high demand for airborne missile protection systems in Central Europe.
BIRD’s AMPS Airborne Missile Protection System provides the most enhanced protection for military and civilian aircraft against the growing threat of ground-to-air missiles (MANPADS). The system is designed to automatically detect, verify, and foil SAM attacks through the effective use of countermeasure decoys (Flares and Chaff) and Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM) that jam the missile’s IR seeker and protect the aircraft.
