Since establishing itself in India as a major defense player by launching Selex Galileo India Private Limited, Selex Galileo, a Finmeccanica company, will further expand its presence by showcasing its leading edge technologies in Electronic Warfare, Radar, Unmanned Aerial Systems and Electro-Optics. At DEFEXPO, Selex Galileo will also be exhibiting a number of its unique technologies which support many of India’s emerging operational needs. With the company’s commitment to having Indian partner companies assemble, integrate and test its products in-India, Selex Galileo can help meet India’s key aspiration to develop an effective and capable defence manufacturing sector. “We’re working with Indian research organisations to insert leading-edge elements of our technologies into their products and with Indian manufacturers to help put them together.” said Fabrizio Giulianini, CEO of Selex Galileo, adding, “By combining the advanced capabilities of Indian industry with our internationally recognised technologies we can continue to leapfrog the market and support the Indian armed forces with the very latest equipment”. Electronic Warfare (EW) products such as the combat-proven HIDAS Defensive Aid Suite for helicopters, a system which includes our Aircraft Gateway Processor (AGP) which is now part of the standard fit on the Apache AH-64 will be on display at Defexpo.
The company will also be highlighting its next-generation ELINT system, ‘SAGE’, which we believe is ideally suited to meeting the needs of India’s Rustom-2 MALE UAS. Also on show will be Selex Galileo’s latest Active Electronically Scanned Array (AESA) systems, such as the Seaspray family of surveillance radars which have been selected by customers in the US, UK and by several others internationally. The Company will also be displaying their PicoSAR Synthetic Aperture Radar which brings a compact and light-weight AESA solution, suitable for ground-surveillance roles on UAVs and light helicopters.
