The company's integrated defensive aids suite (IDAS) will protect crew and aircraft, as well as enhance the survivability in sophisticated, diverse and dense threat environments. The system provides a timely warning against different types of threats such as radar, laser and missile approach, and automatically deploys the required counter measures.
The company will develop and produce IDAS system at its facility in Centurion, South Africa, while deliveries are expected to start in 2014. Saab senior vice-president and electronic defence systems head Micael Johansson said that the company has an unbeaten capability in the field of electronic warfare and self-protection.
The technology is also used in Puma & Super Puma, NH Industries NH90 C-130 and L100 Hercules and Sukhoi Su-30MKM. Saab India market head, Lars-Olof Lindgren, said: "The fact that HAL and the armed forces have continued to show faith in the IDAS system is a testimony of the effectiveness and reliability of the solution."
