AIRBUS SPACE AND DEFENCE

Airbus and the World Bank have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to develop SmartBus, an innovative geospatial monitoring pilot project. Connected buses will gather and transmit information in real time about the state of the national road network, as well as enabling communication with areas isolated due to natural disasters. It will also study the use of new technologies to provide internet access in rural areas. The initiative, supported by the Ministry of Transport and Communications of Peru (MTC), will be developed on the Andean road route between the capital city Lima, on the Pacific Coast, and cities located at the edge of the jungle and low Amazonian jungle.

In 2020, we will add revolutionary very high resolution satellites to our constellation. The Pléiades Neo programme is on track to meet this deadline and to open up new possibilities to demanding geospatial users.

The popularity of drone technology keeps growing, as does the number of these unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in the air. But with the increasing number of drones going skyward, the risk of aircraft collisions rises as well. The Drone-it! device, collaboratively developed by Airbus Defence and Space, aims to tackle the issue by monitoring and separating drone traffic. CLASS = CLear Air Situation for UAS https://www.airbus.com/newsroom/news/en/2018/12/airbus--goes-to-class--in-improving-the-safety-of-airborne-drone.html

Airbus has built 2 dispensers for the Spaceflight mission carrying 64 small satellites (cube sats and micro sats): the HUB and MPC dispensers, with 6 ports each. They are multi-payload structures, made in carbon fibre, holding two or more satellites during launch and once the correct altitude is reached they are responsible to eject them into their corresponding orbits. In fact, the dispensers will separate from the Falcon 9 when it has reached a polar sun synchronous orbit at around 575 Km above the Earth’s surface.

Airbus’ comprehensive solutions for maritime missions – which are fully aligned with the company’s slogan: “We make it fly” – take centre stage at Euronaval, the world’s largest international exhibition of naval defence technologies, being held 23-26 October.

The first unmanned aircraft of its kind to fly in the stratosphere, Zephyr harnesses the sun's rays, running exclusively on solar power, above the weather and conventional air traffic. It is a HAPS: a High Altitude Pseudo Satellite, able to fly for months at a time, combining the persistence of a satellite with the flexibility of a UAV.

The VSR700 is based on the civil Cabri G2 developed by Guimbal, a light, single-engine, diesel-powered helicopter. With a fuel consumption of 15 kg per hour, the UAV is expected to stay airborne for up to 10 hours. The payload of around 250 kg is intended for optical reconnaissance instruments and radar.

More than sixty vessels in the French Navy are now equipped with the ‘Réseau Intranet de la Force Aéronavale étape 2’ (RIFAN 2) system, ranging from aircraft carriers and front-line frigates to support ships, patrol craft based overseas, and submarines.

The variant – designated A320M3A – would be designed to fulfill a range of ISR roles, particularly maritime patrol and anti-submarine warfare. It also can be outfitted with modular roll-on/roll-off payloads for airlift missions ranging from carrying passengers, troops and VIPs to medical evacuation (medevac) and transporting cargo.

STYRIS® is AIRBUS single product line for collection, processing, consolidation, enrichment, distribution and display of data deriving from a wide range of maritime sensors such as radars, AIS, RDF, cameras, weather stations and sonars.

SCOTPatrol is a next generation naval terminal designed to extend satcom capabilities to smaller ships such as Mine Counter Measures and Offshore Patrol Vessels (OPVs) or larger ships with smaller data requirements. Manufactured from carbon fibre, it is the lightest ever naval satcom terminal of its type.
