BIRD Aerosystems Inks Follow-On Contract with Hensoldt 

Atul Chandra - : Jan 28, 2021 - : 7:34 am

Israeli firm Bird Aerosystems, a leading developer of Airborne Missile Protection Systems (AMPS) and Airborne Surveillance, Information, and Observation (ASIO) solutions, has announced a follow-on contract from Hensoldt to develop additional advanced capabilities for the Radar Control and Display (RCD) that controls Hensoldt’s PrecISR advanced multi-mode radar family.

Bird will customize its RCD system and MSIS mission management system to cater for enhanced user capabilities tailored for specific operational requirements of Hensoldt’s PrecISR.

The follow-on contract and the new capabilities that will be developed under this contract are all focused on customizing the RCD for new customers and programs.

Bird will also provide an ILS package that includes RCD training and system documentation, to be provided to Hensoldt and its customers.

The new capabilities to be implemented by the RCD include, for example, Dynamic SAR imagery footprints, control of multi-layered data visualization, and enhanced real-time radar information and status. The RCD system will also be integrated with additional surveillance sensors used by the customers along with Hendoldt radar (e.g., AIS and others).

“We are delighted that Hensoldt has once again put their trust in Bird to further develop the RCD for their Radar Customers, expressing their satisfaction from Bird’s advanced Mission Management System that proved to be highly efficient in reducing mission crew workload. Our experienced team of engineers is working hard to ensure that Bird’s RCD, which is now the default control interface of Hensoldt PrecISR, will be ideal for the specific needs of the end-customers,” said Ronen Factor, Co-CEO and Founder at Bird Aerosystems.

The first phase of development and customization of the RCD to the PrecISR was completed earlier this year.

The next phase of development has been agreed upon by the companies and will include developing specific and more advanced capabilities tailored for HENSOLDT customers.

The PrecISR airborne surveillance radar is Hensoldt’s latest technology response to tackle the challenges of intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions at Air, Sea and Land.

PrecISR has been designed for a wide range of airborne platforms (UAVs, helicopters, fixed wing and special mission aircraft).
