Controp’s SWIR Sharpens EO/IR Vision
Controp has integrated new high-definition thermal imaging capability in some of its EO/IR payloads. The added channel utilizes sensors operating in the shortwave infrared (SWIR) band, to provide higher-quality image in adverse conditions and a wider field of view for enhanced situational awareness.
Commtact Data Link Makes Payloads Smarter
Data links, encryption and cybersecurity are considered sensitive technologies often maintained as highly classified and delivered to customers as “black boxes” that provide the function without offering customers access to manipulate and optimize the service they provide. With systems specifically designed for each customer, systems updates are years apart, with customers remaining dependent on foreign suppliers for the systems’ entire life cycle.
IAI Drones Gain Higher Autonomy in Remote Operations

Bio Nexus’ E-Logbook Communicates Preflight Checks
Bio-Nexus is introducing the E-Logbook (ELB) at this year’s Singapore Airshow. The ELB is a tablet computer that digitally captures preflight checks done by the pilots and communicates them to the line maintenance crews. It is part of the company’s Aero-Nexus line maintenance mobile, digital workflow.
Using connected tablet computers loaded with the Aero-Nexus applications, the system tightens the control and processing of line maintenance, and increases reliability by reducing risks of human errors.

Israel's Bird, Airbus Team On Manpads Protection
Israeli company Bird Aerosystems has teamed with Airbus to develop and field the Airborne Missile Protection System (AMPS) MV on helicopters and aircraft to protect them from the proliferating threat of man-portable air defense systems, or manpads.
Bird’s DIRCMs Offer VIP Treatment
The proliferation of MANPADS – man-portable air defense systems – increased dramatically in recent years, leaking from collapsed nations (Libya, for example) and from radicals sponsored by rough nations (Iran and North Korea, to mention few of the most obvious). As MANPADS are available for sale on the black market, they appear in conflict zones throughout the world, as well as in the hands of criminal organizations. The growing threat drives military and government agencies to turn to proven countermeasures to protect their air.
UAS Countermeasures from Israel
Two counter-UAS systems developed in Israel are shown here at Le Bourget, designed to deal with different aspects of drone threats.
IAI Cybersecurity for Aviation
One of Israel Aerospace Industries’ areas of cyber expertise is the development and provision of cybersecurity solutions tailored to the needs of the aviation sector.
Elbit Systems—Maintaining Course Over 50 Years
