Sagem Defense Securite to Supply Tiger Helicopters With STRIX Optronic Systems

(Paris, February 6, 2008) -- Sagem Defense Securite (SAFRAN Group) received an order from OCCAR for STRIX observation and sighting systems for 64 Tiger HAD European combat helicopters in France and Spain.

The first deliveries will take place in 2009.

With high-performance optronic sensors, the STRIX gyrostabilized system will provide the Tiger HAD with observation, identification and engagement capacities at long range both day and night.

The system will enable all the Tiger's weapons to be used, including anti-tank missiles. It will have a dual-mode laser designator for laser-guided weapons and telemetry with ocular security for observed targets to complement the high-resolution day/night sensors.
