French defense procurement agency DGA has awarded Sagem (Safran) a design study contract concerning inertial navigation systems for new-gene...
According to the terms of this contract, Sagem is responsible for the design and construction of inertial reference units for these missiles.
Based on vibrating gyro technology, this work will eventually lead to the development and production of more cost-efficient inertial navigation systems for use on all types of missiles, including air-to-air, surface-to-air, anti tank and anti ship.
Sagem already develops and produces the Hammer AASM (Armement Air-Sol Modulaire) modular guided weapon for this market.
Working with prime contractor MBDA, Sagem also makes the sights and seeker for the Mistral air defense missile, and the seeker forthe infrared version of the Mica air-to-air/surface-to-air missile.
In addition, Sagem was selected to develop and produce the infrared seeker for the MMP medium-range missile and MBDA’s air-to-surface and light antiship missiles.
