EADS and India join forces to develop a missile warning system

EADS, a global leader in aerospace, defence and related services, and the Indian government are poised to strengthen their co-operation in the highly sensitive field of electronic warfare. As reported by the company during Farnborough Airshow, an MoU covering the joint development of a missile warning system for the Indian Air Force, was signed between EADS Defence Electronics and the Indian Defence Avionics Research Establishment (DARE).

In the field of missile protection, EADS is bringing the technological competence of its Business Unit Defence Electronics into a strategic co-operation with the Indian Defence Avionics Research Establishment (DARE) which capitalizes on longstanding experience in electronic warfare and avionics. The partners will jointly develop a missile warning system based on EADS' proven warning sensor MILDS AN/AAR-60 and integrated into the existing Multi-Sensor Warning System of the Indian armed forces. It is expected to have the system operational by 2007. As part of the agreement, EADS in a first step will deliver 36 sensors for further integration and development. EADS also committed itself to establish step-by-step a local production of MILDS AN/AAR-60 in India.
