Airbus Defence and Space, Europe’s number one defence and space company, is participating at Eurosatory 2014, the largest international land and air-land defence and security exhibition, being held at Villepinte-Paris Nord Exhibition Centre from 16-20 June 2014.

The Airbus Group Pavilion is showcasing systems and services that make Airbus Defence and Space a world’s leading Defence company, including:

A complete range of military aircraft solutions:

• UASs with Tanan, Tracker and Shadow 200
• Models of two of our military aircraft: the A400M, the “all-new airlifter of the 21st Century”, now in service with the French and Turkish Air Forces, as well as the C295.

Protect and connect, in land and land-to-air defence and security:

• Spexer 1000 radar: with a range up to 18 kilometres and an extremely high update rate, this core element of border security systems is able to detect suspicious movements at a very early stage and to locate difficult-to-detect objects with a very low false alarm rate.

Secure communications for defence and security:

• COMCEPT, the first secure ultra-fast broadband communications by satellite military network in Europe, using Ka-band and the latest IP network solutions on the market, while also optimising costs.
• The TPH900 is the latest generation Tetrapol radio. This robust, hand-portable radio allows mission-critical voice and data communications and is specially designed for easy and solid usability in the field.
• The THR9 Ex Tetra radio, combines certification for operation in explosion-prone areas with user friendliness, a robust design and advanced features to enhance user safety.
• The TH1n, is the thinnest and lightest Tetra handset in the world. It is small enough to be slipped into a pocket, attached to a belt, or carried in a handbag. This makes it ideal for a whole range of users, in addition to those in conventional roles.

Protect and connect in cyberspace:

• Cybersecurity: the innovative Cyber Defence Centre gathers all tools and experts to watch, detect and investigate cyber-attacks. These services include supervision of IT security, early detection of attacks, investigation, remediation and 24/7 anticipation of advanced cyber-attacks. Airbus Defence and Space’s Cyber Defence Centre includes in particular Cymerius supervision and security evolved management solution.

Earth observation satellites, a trump card for intelligence and decision-making:

• The ‘in-orbit proven’ Pléiades satellites, which form with SPOT 6 – and soon SPOT 7 – the only constellation in the world capable of taking both high-resolution and very high-resolution images of a selected point anywhere on Earth on a daily basis.
• I4D, jointly demonstrated with Actinct/Weblab, allows users to obtain and to analyse information collected by any intelligence source (Signal Intelligence, Human Intelligence, Imagery Intelligence) on a single virtual globe.
• GO3S (Geostationary Observation Space Surveillance System), an Earth observation satellite project offering continuous real-time acquisition from geostationary orbit.
