Ondas Inc. (Nasdaq:ONDS) has completed the installation and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification of its Airborne Missile Protection System (AMPS) on a Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft. The certification allows the aircraft to use the protection system within its approved configuration under applicable European airworthiness requirements.
#Certification covers integrated aircraft protection system
The AMPS installation includes Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM), alongside equipment for missile warning, threat identification and confirmation, tracking, and countermeasure deployment.
Ondas says the system is intended to address Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS) and other infrared-guided missile threats. The company also says its design is intended to limit false alarms to virtually zero.
The system was developed by BIRD Aerosystems, an Ondas company. Its stated scope includes aircraft protection from initial system design and integration through certification, installation and operational support.
Ondas says AMPS can be adapted for helicopters, transport aircraft, commercial aircraft and VVIP or head-of-state aircraft. The Bombardier Global 7500 is the latest high-value aircraft platform identified in the announcement as equipped with one of the company’s airborne missile protection systems.
The company described the EASA approval as an expansion of its presence in airborne defense and aircraft protection. Eric Brock, Ondas’ chairman and chief executive officer, said the company is seeking opportunities to extend its airborne protection activities for government and defense customers worldwide.
Ondas provides autonomous systems, robotics and mission-critical technologies for defense, homeland security, public safety, critical infrastructure and industrial markets. Its business includes unmanned and autonomous platforms for air, ground and stratospheric applications, as well as drone systems, counter-UAS technologies, robotic ground systems, unmanned aircraft and propulsion solutions, demining and engineering systems, and sensing and communications technologies.
The company says its technologies serve government, defense and commercial customers. It also says it expects to expand the market potential of its technologies, create additional revenue opportunities and accelerate adoption across multiple sectors.
Ondas cautions that statements about future opportunities, revenue opportunities and adoption are based on current expectations rather than historical or current facts. The company says these statements are not guarantees of future performance and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. It also warns that actual results, performance or achievements could differ materially from those statements.
Ondas announced the successful completion of the installation and European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification of its Airborne Missile Protection System (AMPS), incorporating Directional Infrared Countermeasures (DIRCM), on a Bombardier Global 7500 aircraft.
The EASA certification confirms that the missile protection suite integrated on the Bombardier Global 7500 meets applicable European airworthiness requirements. It enables the aircraft to incorporate the protection capability within its certified configuration.
Ondas' AMPS uses missile warning, threat detection and confirmation, tracking and Directional Infrared Countermeasure capabilities. The system is designed to protect aircraft against Man-Portable Air-Defense Systems (MANPADS) and other infrared-guided missile threats, while reducing false alarms to virtually zero.
The AMPS suite was developed by BIRD Aerosystems, an Ondas company. Ondas describes it as an integrated, end-to-end protection solution.
Ondas says AMPS can be adapted to helicopters, transport aircraft, commercial aircraft and VVIP/head-of-state aircraft. The Bombardier Global 7500 is the latest high-value aircraft platform identified in the announcement as equipped with one of Ondas' airborne missile protection solutions.
Ondas says its turnkey programmes can cover system design, integration, certification, installation and operational support. The company links these services to its experience with complex aircraft integration and certification.
Ondas says the certification expands its presence in the global airborne defence and aircraft protection market and adds another VVIP aircraft platform to the range protected by its technologies. Eric Brock, Chairman and CEO of Ondas, said the company sees opportunities to expand its presence in airborne protection for government and defence customers worldwide.
Ondas expects to expand the market potential of its technologies, create additional revenue opportunities and accelerate adoption across multiple sectors. These are forward-looking statements, and the company says they are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Ondas provides autonomous systems, robotics and mission-critical technologies for defence, homeland security, public safety, critical infrastructure and industrial markets. The company says its solutions are deployed globally by government, defence and commercial customers.
