Cassidian is the main pole of EADS’ defence and global
security activities. Its wide range of products and services
include the Eurofighter combat aircraft, missile systems,
integrated defence and security solutions, defence
electronics and related services.
Security Solutions
Security threats often call for multiple
responses from different services.
The need to coordinate action
has driven demand for integrated
security solutions. Cassidian delivers
integrated systems for border
security, maritime security, crisis
and emergency response, as well as
for protection of infrastructure and
populations. Cassidian Professional
Mobile Radio (PMR) solutions
enable security organisations to
communicate effectively, reliably
and securely.
Radars
Cassidian is heavily involved in the
technological development and
application of next-generation active
electronically scanning (AESA) radars
for air, naval and ground applications.
In the area of air defence, Cassidian
produces mid-range radars for ship
(TRS-3D/4D) and land (TRML-3D)
applications. The TRS-3D radar has
been selected for the US Navy’s
Littoral Combat Ship and is also being
supplied to the US Coast Guard for its
fleet of National Security Cutters.
Missile Systems
MBDA, a joint venture between
EADS, BAE Systems and
Finmeccanica, is the missile systems
group within Cassidian. The broad
range of MBDA products covers
all six principal missile system
categories: air-to-air, air-to-surface,
ground-to-air, surface-to-air, anti-ship
and surface-to-surface. Programmes
currently under development include
the Aster Paams naval air defence
system and the Meteor air superiority
missile system.
UAS
In the field of Unmanned Aerial
Systems (UAS), Cassidian is seeking
to develop leading technologies and
products based on its projects to
date, which include Talarion, Harfang,
Barracuda and DRAC systems.
Cassidian and its US partner
Northrop Grumman are supplying the
German forces with the Euro Hawk
UAS. Euro Hawk is a high-altitude
Unmanned Aerial System for signal
intelligence.
Cassidian is responsible for the overall
mission system, including situation
analysis and reporting, as well as
sensor-payload and modifications.
In 2010, Euro Hawk successfully
undertook its first flight in Palmdale,
California.
