Herzliya, Israel – July 2016
BIRD Aerosystems, presented a live demonstration of Airborne missile protection System at the Farnborough International Airshow.
The company showcased the newest configuration of the Airborne Missile Protection System, AMPS-MV, installed on the MI-8 Helicopter of Ukrainian Helicopters.
Ronen Factor, Co-Chief Executive Officer and Founder: “The AMPS-MV system provides a full autonomous system from detection to protection with the highest probability of detection – practically zero false alarm rates. AMPS-MV is the only system compatible with Civil Aviation regulations and eligible to be installed on both civil and VIP platforms. The system has evolved into a standard system at NATO, including the aircrafts used during UN Air Operations and by USA and Canadian governments.”
The AMPS system was developed in cooperation with AIRBUS Defence and Space and is installed in over 2,000 aircrafts and provides more than 85% of the global market outside of the United States.
Participating in Farnborough is part of BIRD’s ongoing activities in Israel and abroad to promote technological research and development in the field of defense and security. Platforms such as Farnborough enable BIRD to continue its ongoing work, creating international collaborations in order to enhance development of applied technologies and their assimilation.
