Sagem to supply SLPRM mission planning system to France

In late December 2009, French defense procurement agency DGA announced the contract award to Sagem (Safran group) for the development and supply of SLPRM V5, including three years of system maintenance services. The SLPRM (Système Local de Préparation et de Restitution de Missions) mission planning and debriefing system, developed for the Rafale omnirole fighter, is a key to efficient mission planning and debriefing. It is used on different combat aircraft deployed by the French air force and navy, and supports all stores configurations. SLPRM integrates the latest Rafale F3 standard, as well as the latest guided air-to-ground weapons, including the ASMP-A nuclear cruise missile, Scalp conventional cruise missile and AASM modular air-to-ground weapon, developed and produced by Sagem, along with the Reco-NG optronics reconnaissance pod. SLPRM V5 will feature new software, especially for the mapping function, plus an optimized, scalable architecture. It can run on a laptop computer, for simplified maintenance. The SLPRM V5 contract was awarded within the scope of France’s economic stimulus plan, enabling this upgraded version to be delivered ahead of schedule to the French air force and navy.
