EID to unveil new vehicle communication system at DSEI
The Portuguese company’s naval communications system is in service across more than a dozen countries. It has turned to its home nation for support in developing a new vehicle based C2 system.
Selex ES radar selected for Brazilian KC-390
Selex ES will provide its Gabbiano T20 radar system to Embraer Defense & Security for the KC-390 aircraft being delivered to the Brazilian Air Force under a contract announced on 18 June.
Deliveries of an undisclosed number of Gabbiano radars will begin this year. The version ordered by Embraer incorporates radar modes optimised for military transport aircraft.
Gabbiano is an X-band radar designed to support ISR, search and rescue and patrol missions on sea, coast and land. Based on a solid-state transmitter, it offers high resolution imagery and at long detection ranges.
Gabbiano modes include air-to-sea surveillance with Track While Scan (TWS), high resolution ground mapping (Spot/Strip-SAR), ship target imaging and classification with ISAR and navigation with ground mapping and weather avoidance.
The production contract from Embraer follows the earlier selection of the Gabbiano to be part of the KC- 390’s baseline.
The contract further expands Selex’s work in the Brazilian defence market, which currently incorporates air and naval platform equipment, as well as land networking capabilities. An in-country wholly owned subsidiary, Selex ES do Brazil, has also been established to create an independent national support capability and to develop relations with local companies in order to address opportunities in the defence and security markets.
