The high performance of the aerospace industry, in both technical and economic aspects, is due in part to its control over the supply chain and its quality throughout the value chain (from the buyer to the SME providers). For GIFAS, it is imperative to continue in this way to keep the industry competitive.

Featuring an ultra-compact package of less than 5 cubic inches, the TAC-440 delivers 1°/hour gyro bias with 1 mg accelerometer bias stability and very low 0.05°/√hour angle random walk (ARW) over wide temperature ranges. The breakthrough performance of the TAC-440 IMU is based on a EMCORE’s proven quartz MEMS inertial sensor technology. EMCORE’s quartz technology enables repeatable, high-volume production of precisely machined sensor structures combined with the inherent large signal output and thermal stability of quartz materials. The TAC-440 is a compact IMU constructed with EMCORE’s latest generation quartz gyros, quartz accelerometers, and high-speed signal processing to achieve outstanding precision performance. The TAC-440 IMU is designed for demanding, mission-critical, rugged environments. The solid-state quartz sensors and hermetically sealed IMU construction provide reliable MTBF. Continuous Built-in Test (BIT), configurable communications protocols, electromagnetic interference (EMI) protection make the TAC-440 IMU easy to use in a wide range of higher order integrated system applications.

The ARTUS Lite’s prowess extends to tele-operation scenarios, particularly within military, nuclear, and bio-pharma applications, where an end-effector that operates with both finesse and confidence is crucial. It provides a safe and precise solution for remote manipulation in hazardous or inaccessible environments, proving vital in environments where the safety and replacement of manual labor are urgent concerns. It excels in machine tending and pick-and-place automation within greenhouses, warehouses, and recycling facilities, enhancing productivity while prioritizing worker safety.

The French aerospace sector is a leader in Europe and in the world. GIFAS protects this number-one status that enables our country and its industry to assert itself on the international stage. The development of our industry has been possible thanks to a constant dialogue with our international partners.

Inserts are used in the aerospace industry in lightweight sandwich panels and are then bonded. The panels can then be screwed or various components can be fastened. However, the manual process has several disadvantages: Enormous expenditure of time for the manual filling of several thousand inserts, high material waste due to relaxation of the material, and high material costs through the use of cartridges. ViscoTec can map the filling process automatically. The dispensing process is absolutely precise. A significant amount of material can thus be saved. In addition, material can be supplied from large containers, which in turn lowers purchase prices. Another important advantage: As a rule, no new specifications have to be made since no changes are made to the actual process.

The SWIFT-EI is the world’s first SWIR detector to feature a state-of-the-art read-out integrated circuit (ROIC), enabling low size, weight, power, and cost (SWaP-C). It supports VGA image format for SWIR imaging, multi-spot ALPD (asynchronous laser pulse detection), and a rapid imaging frame rate of up to 1,600 frames per second. The revolutionary ROIC introduces an independent neuromorphic imaging stream for event detection, which greatly expands capabilities in target detection and classification. Ideal for cutting-edge, low SWaP-C applications, the SWIFT-EI can be integrated into a variety of air platforms, missiles, vehicles, and handheld devices, making it extraordinarily versatile. With SWIFT-EI, SCD’s customers always have the advantage of being the FIRST TO SEE.

A super-evolution of the original platform brought about by the present-day tactical requirements and offering specialized features and functions specifically designed and fitted to provide top-notch efficiency, high operating speeds, a low recoil impulse, and a decisive and consistent feel. We took special care to design a weapon that offers very fast emergency reloads even in the most demanding of environments and situations, such as sports shooting, law enforcement or civil defense. The entire furniture set is AK compatible and thus the weapon can be fully configured to fit and use a wide array of accessories, making it suited for any preferences and all tasks.
