About
About BIRD Aerosystems
AMPS combines missile-warning sensors, countermeasure control and the SPREOS directional-infrared system in an aircraft self-protection workflow. When a possible missile is detected, SPREOS verifies the threat, tracks it and directs infrared energy toward its seeker, reducing false engagements while supporting automated defensive action with limited pilot intervention.
The ASIO surveillance line addresses a different mission layer. It integrates radar, electro-optical sensors and communications with the MSIS mission-management system, allowing airborne crews to detect, classify and track activity during maritime patrol, border surveillance, search-and-rescue and security operations.
