Thales is delivering AMASCOS to support the conversion of four RMAF’s Beech 200 aircraft to a highly capable maritime surveillance platform, due to enter service next year.
The Thales AMASCOS mission system delivers an effective maritime surveillance, airborne maritime patrol and ground surveillance capability. Its modular and flexible design can accommodate a number of high definition sensors (optical, radar, acoustic, electronic support measures) and integrate the data into a comprehensive yet easy to operate maritime situational awareness picture. Users are able to focus on the task in hand, and remain one step ahead of the actions of those under their surveillance.
Today, AMASCOS operates on ATR72, DASH-8 Q300, Beech 200, F406, DA42 and CN235 aircraft. The AMASCOS full capability along with a few new features are on view at the Langkawi International Maritime & Aerospace (LIMA) show, where an Indonesian Navy CN235-220 maritime patrol aircraft equipped with AMASCOS is on static display by aerospace firm PT Dirgantara Indonesia (PTDI).
