and provide total situational awareness 

Proven Solutions for Diverse Missions


Integrated glass cockpit featuring multi-mission processor driven Electronic Flight Instrument
System (EFIS) and mission displays and system architecture

Flexible Solutions
ST Aerospace provides full inhouse system design and operational flight software capabilities with our own Multi- Mission Processors, integrating a complete array of avionics, sensors and communication sub-systems to meet a multitude of operational requirements.

Situational awareness enhancement
We offer situational awareness aids such as Digital Moving Map (DMM), battlefield information such as disposition of friendlies and threats, terrain data and proximity warning.

Survivability enhancement
ST Aerospace is able to provide survivability enhancement solutions to meet a range of requirements.
 

Designed to enhance operational performance, survivability and mission flexibility, our door gun system for the Super Puma helicopter allows for quick role change and can be adapted for other helicopter types.
A wide range of mission configurations for any operational situation

Adverse weather and night operations enhancements
We also provide varying degrees of adverse weather and night operations enhancements:
 

Night Vision Goggle (NVG) compatible cockpit

  • Integrated TV/FLIR (Forward Looking lnfra-Red) sub-systems with retractable mounting design if necessary to increase ground clearance for the FLIR turret during aircraft landing

Ship borne operations
ST Aerospace is able to adapt the Aircraft to Ship Integrated Secure and Traverse (ASIST) System that we have installed for the Super Puma to various helicopters, enabling them to operate safely and effectively from the deck of various types of ships up to Sea State 5 conditions.

ASIST System – For Safe and Effective Sea Borne Operations
Adaptable for other helicopter types, the ASIST System has the following mission capabilities:

  • Aircraft landing and launching capabilities on the support vessel deck
  • Aircraft straightening and traversing capabilities along the deck from the designated landing area to the hangar and vice versa
  • Sea borne operational capabilities up to Sea State 5 conditions

Key design features and operational advantages
Minimum crew requirement

  • Helicopter landings made solely by the pilot during a quiescent period in ship motion

Airborne target subsystem

  • Electro-optic tracking system that automatically positions a securing device under the helicopter

Four functional modes of probe assembly

  • Extension – allows for rapid capture by the rapid securing device
  • Back drive – partial retraction to prevent dragging of probe on the deck during aircraft maneuvering
  • Retraction – full retraction to reduce drag during flight and for landing at non-ASIST facilities
  • Emergency extension – in case of failure of normal extension of probe

Modular design and construction

  • Ease of maintenance
  • Expedition of role change

Probe assembly performance time

  • Retraction – 15 secs (maximum)
  • Extension – 15 secs (maximum)

Helicopter Door Gun System
Adaptable for other helicopter types, the 0.5" calibre door gun has the following mission capabilities:
 

 

  • Combat capability against a wide range of softskin ground targets including light infantry vehicles
  • Combat capability against Remote Pilotless Vehicles (RPVs), Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) and other helicopters
  • Combat capability against vessels and other sea targets
  • Defensive capability during general troop lift, tactical force insertion, re-supply, casualty evacuation, Combat Search and Rescue (CSAR) and other support missions, minimising the need for armed helicopter escorts

Key design features and operational advantages:
Ergonomically located and externally mounted guns

  • Capable of wide arc of fire
    Elevation: -50 / +3 deg
    Azimuth: -48 / +50 deg
  • With different easily configured gun handling positions (standing, sitting and squatting), doors can be fully closed during gun carriage
  • Full cabin space usable for smooth ingress and egress of fully equipped combat troops

Innovative soft-mounted design

  • Significant reduction of recoil force by more than 60%
  • Ease of gun handling and aiming

Modular design and construction

  • High degree of reliability with few operating parts
  • Ease of maintenance and expedition of role change

Aerodynamically designed gun mounting

  • Maximum airspeed, permissible pitch and bank angles remain unchanged
  • Insignificant effects to airspeed and fuel consumption at level flight
