CASSIDIAN — ACHIEVING OUR GOALS — ANNUAL REVIEW 2013
(MEADS) intercepted and destroyed simultaneously two targets
approaching from opposite directions.
Further progress was made in de-risking border security
contracts.
PRODUCT AND SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT
Activities in the area of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
continued. The Atlante, a Spanish UAS designed for both military
and civil use, performed its maiden ight, while the signal sensor
ISIS was successfully tested on the Eurohawk platform.
Inaddition, Cassidian teamed with Dassault Aviation and
Finmeccanica in proposing a European MALE (Medium
Altitude, Long Endurance) solution.
Portfolio and market position in the eld of cyber security was
strengthened through the acquisition of an 83.9% stake in
Arkoon Network Security. Following the acquisition of Netasq in
2012, the acquisition of Arkoon Network Security represents
a further step in the creation of a European industrial base for
cyber-security products and solutions.
Among several enhancements to radar systems, the Division
introduced a new naval X-band radar for detecting small objects.
Using optimised Active Electronically Scanning Array technology,
the sensor will help to protect ships against terrorist attacks.
Several contracts were signed to supply Professional Mobile
Radio (PMR) technology, including a contract to update and
expand the Beijing government’s shared Tetra network.
