Selex Galileo (Stand J39) believes it can become a key player in defense electronics in Southeast Asia. Here at the Singapore Airshow, the Finmeccanica subsidiary is promoting defensive aids, electro-optical (EO) sensors for maritime surveillance and active array radars.

The company has sold its helicopter integrated defensive aids suite (HIDAS) to Greece, Kuwait and the UK to protect those nations’ Boeing AH-64 Apache fleets. The HIDAS uses multi-spectral sensors and pre-loaded intelligence to produce a comprehensive tactical picture of the operating environment. Variations of this system are going onto the UK’s Boeing CH-47 Chinooks and the recently announced upgrade to the UK’s Eurocopter Pumas.
