Building a comprehensive EOB

With the longest endurance in its class – combined with a smaller overall profile and increased survivability in hostile environments – the C295 is perfectly adapted for the SIGINT (signals intelligence) mission.

Strategic and tactical SIGINT operations with the same aircraft

The aircraft’s large cabin and long endurance provide a comfortable operating environment for the entire crew. Its discretion while on mission is enhanced by a full self-protection suite.

At the heart of the ISR version is Airbus’ Fully Integrated Tactical System (FITS) – a state-of-the-art mission system that results from the company’s 35-plus years of experience in the ISR field, perfecting its features and the integration with the aircraft. The FITS system is proven on some 100 aircraft flown by a variety of operators.

The FITS manages, presents and controls information from the different SIGINT systems (ESM/ELINT, COMINT and other EW systems) and builds a comprehensive Electronic Order of Battle (EOB) to the operators.

The intelligence information can be exploited and stored airborne or disseminated in near real time to other units, by means of a complete suite of communications, in Line of Sight (LoS) or Beyond (BLoS).
