Thales Flight Tests NFH90 Radar
The European Navy Radar under development for the naval version of the NH90 (NFH90) helicopter was flight-tested during a two-week period in Hyères, France, manufacturer Thales announced.
The radar system is a new-generation maritime patrol radar derived from Thales’ Ocean Master radar family. Developed in conjunction with EADS Germany and Galileo Avionica of Italy, the radar is integrated into the NH90's mission system by Agusta Westland.
The objective of the tests was to evaluate at full-scale the air-to-surface capabilities, which represent Thales’ share in the radar.
“The results of this flight campaign are in line with expectations and confirm that the air-to-surface detection capability is on-track for the NH90 qualification,” Thales said.
