Sagem signs life-cycle support contract for STRIX sights on French army Tiger helicopters
Sagem (Safran group) signed a contract with SIMMAD to provide life-cycle support for the STRIX turret-mounted, gyrostabilized observation and sighting systems on Tiger HAP combat and fire support helicopters deployed by the French army's air arm (ALAT).
The five-year contract covers 50 STRIX systems and associated logistics. It includes support by the hour for curative maintenance and a flat rate for preventive servicing of certain line replaceable units. Covering both France and overseas theaters of operation, the contract also provides for Sagem to set up a dedicated hot line in conjunction with ALAT units operating Tiger helicopters.
Contract services will be provided by Sagem's Dijon and Poitiers plants for optronics modules, and by the Montluçon plant for the gyroscopic stabilization devices.
