Sagem (Safran) announced today that it has signed a contract with MBDA to integrate SIGMA 30 navigation and pointing systems on several VL MICA surface-to-air weapon systems.

Sagem designed SIGMA 30 pointing system will provide air defense systems independent deployment and firing capability in the absence of GPS. SIGMA 30 allows a distributed missile launcher deployment, which increases the mobility and protection of mobile air defense systems. It also supports the system's nominal operation despite enemy jamming and decoy measures.

The SIGMA 30 system is based on digital large ring laser gyro technology, and benefits from Sagem's proven industrial expertise in advanced inertial sensors and navigation systems. SIGMA 30 systems are built at Sagem's plant in Montluçon, France.
