UAE-based Atlas Aerospace, a specialist in aircraft modification and transformation, is set to highlight the significance of the fast evolving local and regional aerospace industries at this year’s Dubai Airshow which kicks off today (November 12).  

The new aerospace arm of Atlas Group and the region’s leading aerospace conglomerate, Atlas Aerospace, will also focus on the pivotal role being played by its cost-effective and quality aircraft solutions in an evolving global aerospace community, which is being rapidly reshaped by advanced technological innovations.

During the five-day event, Atlas Aerospace will feature its first next–generation universal flight simulator, a digital training device fully made of touchscreens and flight controls; Caledonian Scorpio Mission System, the very innovative mission computer system that can integrate as many sensors as needed on a rotary wing aircraft; and Harris Multi-channel Airborne Networking Radio, the world’s first airborne certified two-channel networking radio.

The company will also put on display the Harris RF-7850A-UA Unmanned Aircraft Networking Radio; as well as the Sea Venom/ANL, the new generation, lightweight, medium range anti-ship missile developed by MBDA for shipborne helicopters.

Chairman Ahmed Siddiq Al Mutawaa said: "The birth of the new millennium has brought forth tremendous industry opportunities and new growth areas that previously only existed in our minds. The future of travel as we know it is about to change as technological breakthroughs continue to transform the aerospace landscape."

The UAE and its neighboring GCC countries are quickly catching up with these dramatic evolutions as evidenced by implementation of key government policies designed not only to attract more investments to the regional sector but also to take the industry to the next level of development in line with modern requirements.

"As one of the leading local aircraft integrators of equipment and sensors in the UAE and the GCC, we are excited to demonstrate at the Dubai Airshow what Atlas Aerospace can deliver to help boost and support the ongoing contemporary industry transformations at the local and regional levels," he added.  

Prof Imad Victor Lahoud, the managing director, Atlas Aerospace, said: "Showcasing the latest and greatest in military, general, and commercial aviation, the Dubai Airshow is the ideal platform to put the spotlight on our unmatched capabilities in integrating sensors, mission systems, cockpit voice recorders, cameras, radars, and self-protection suites, as well as our variety of modification services on fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircrafts."

"We look forward to discussing not only our best-in-class services to global visitors attending this year’s event but as well as showing our unwavering commitment to help enhance the global competitiveness of the aerospace community in the UAE and the rest of the GCC region," he added.-TradeArabia News Service
