BAE SYSTEMS

BAE Systems displayed its guns which are in the running for the Indian Army including the FH77 B05 towed howitzer, and M777, ultra lightweight howitzer.

Andrew Gallagher, President BAE Systems India said:”BAE Systems’ commitment to the development of a long term domestic business in
India, with a full range of skills and capabilities, is unmatched. We firmly support the Indian Government’s aim of procuring 70% of defence equipment domestically and see the establishment of Defence Land
Systems India as a major contribution towards this objective.”

The BAE Systems FH77 B05 is bidding for the Indian Army requirement for towed 52cal 155mm howitzers. Trials with the India Army are due to start after Defexpo. The M777 ultra light weight howitzer is now in the Foreign Military Sales (FMS) process for a possible FMS purchase between the US and Indian Governments.

U.K.’s new tactical communications system, Falcon, was also on display. Falcon will enter service with the British Army and Royal Air
Force this year and is the world’s first tactical comms system based on an all IP (Internet Protocol) open architecture.

BAE Systems also showcased a whole range of products, including infantry fighting vehicles, high mobility vehicles, unmanned autonomous systems, protection equipment, and helmet mounted display technology.

Finmeccanica

Finmeccanica took part in DEFEXPO 2010 through its companies AgustaWestland, Alenia Aeronautica, DRS Technologies, SELEX Communications, SELEX Galileo, Oto Melara and WASS, presenting products, platforms and technological solutions in the field of helicopters, aeronautic, communications and radar systems, naval and land armaments and underwater systems.

In the helicopter sector, AgustaWestland has been present in India since 1970. Indian Navy operates a fleet of AgustaWestland Sea King helicopters and a growing number of AgustaWestland commercial helicopters are now performing corporate, VIP and offshore transport missions in India. .

AgustaWestland signed a Memorandum of Understanding with the Indian group Tata Sons to create a joint venture for the development of a final assembly line for the AW119 helicopter in India.

The aeronautics sector in India offers prospects for Alenia Aeronautica that is currently keeping a close eye on the requirements including tactical transport aircraft. A model of the C-27J was on display at the Finmeccanica stand.

SELEX Communications has a presence going back 20 years in India, where it supplies avionic, tactical and naval communications systems, either directly or in collaboration with Indian companies.

SELEX Galileo is also present in India, where it supplies the 2080C
