Introduction

Your needs

Top of the line Maritime Surveillance Aircraft with modern Human Machine Interface.


Your benefits

The MSS 7000 equipped aircraft provide a superior working environment.  Ergonomic seats are installed for two system operators and two observers. Two identical consoles allow the two operators full flexibility in sharing the workload between themselves.

An advanced Digital Voice Control System (DVCS) with access to the full radio communications suite ensures effective communication between system operators, observers and pilots as well as real-time coordination with mission command on the ground and cooperating units at all times.

To ensure that the whole crew shares the same situational awareness the pilots and observers have tablet computers showing the tactical map and sensor data including EO/IR video and the ship image database.

Operation of the system is very intuitive using a smartphone like Human Machine Interface (HMI) with all important actions no more than two operations away.

Product Description

Each operator console has two large 23” multi-touch screens with several new features to facilitate ease of operation and superior situational overview.  Sensor data, maps and reports are presented in pre-assigned windows on the screen. 

Dedicated window layouts or “profiles” are optimised for specific mission types. The operator can at any time switch between the mission types and/or save a personalized configuration to always be ready to meet the current mission objectives.

The search radar, EO/IR sensor and IR/UV scanner are housed in a radome under the belly of the aircraft. The EO/IR sensor is mounted on a hoist mechanism for maximum field of view in flight and maximum protection during takeoff and landing. On the tail cone of the aircraft a SLAR (Side looking airborne Radar) is mounted.

 

The MSS 7000 for the Estonian Police and Border Guard seamlessly integrates an extensive suite of sensors and communication equipment to make the aircraft an excellent tool for a wide range of surveillance tasks.

A truly scalable system architecture allows us to offer cost effective solutions for small or large rotary and fixed wing applications. Our offered solutions may range from a simplified work station with one large multi-touch screen suitable for a single operator in a small fixed or rotary wing aircraft to larger systems with up to three operator consoles, each with two large multi-touch screens plus one or more portable work stations for observers/liaison officer/mission commander.

The MSS 7000 may also be delivered with additional integrated communication systems, such as a LOS high speed video/data downlink and tactical communication systems. As a world class system integrator ST Airborne Systems are able and willing to offer the sensor suite best suited to meet your requirement providing best price/performance ratio and also including/integrating legacy sensors or communication equipment as required.
