Crisis Management
Delivering the right solutions to meet the crisis management needs of today and tomorrow
Improved monitoring, response and resilience
At Airbus, we deal with all kinds of crises: natural or man-made disasters, industrial accidents, confrontations or malicious acts.
Natural disasters such as earthquakes, floods, tsunamis, forest fires, hurricanes or volcanic eruptions, as well as man-made disasters, regularly cause significant hardship to populations and damage to infrastructure and the environment.
In addition, industrial accidents can never be completely avoided, no matter how many precautions are taken. And confrontations or acts of malevolence are a fact of life in our world. It is therefore essential for all those involved in crisis management and disaster relief to improve their ability to anticipate and respond in order to mitigate the effects of disasters.
A reliable partner for crisis management
Effective crisis management is a collaborative effort between government, civil society and the private sector at all stages: from effective prevention and preparation, through rapid response, to recovery and evaluation of the lessons learned.
Drawing on many years of experience, Airbus offers advanced solutions for critical communications, connectivity and geo-information throughout a crisis, all tailored and scaled to the needs of the user.
Our assets for crisis management
Versatile and efficient tactical aircraft
The C295 is ideal for all types of crisis relief and humanitarian missions. Tough, solid, rugged and with excellent low-level flying capabilities and short take-off and landing times from unprepared rough, soft and short airstrips.
Mobile assets
Helicopters can reach any disaster site three to five times faster than ground vehicles, making them ideal for transporting rescue teams and equipment, as well as providing emergency medical services.
Airbus constellation
Our satellite imagery and geospatial analytics provide actors in the crisis management domain with an accurate and remote view of any emergency, whether natural or man-made.
Our solutions for crisis management
Secure communications solutions
We offer the widest range of satellite communications bandwidth and best-in-class capabilities for network services and solutions (network operations, field support services and training).
Mission critical communication
Our advanced critical communications solutions enable multiple organisations to communicate anytime and anywhere during a crisis - resiliently and securely.
Mobile hospitals
In order to respond quickly to crisis situations, Airbus offers mobile hospital solutions (transportable, modular & rapidly deployable) with full functionality to ensure the best medical care.
