BIRD Aerosystems, developer of Special Mission Aircraft Solutions (ASIO) and Airborne Missile Protection Systems (AMPS), presents the AeroShield Pod in its full configuration for the first time at the Paris Air Show 2017.

In its full configuration, the AeroShield Pod is available with BIRD Aerosystems' SPREOS Directional Infra-Red Counter-Measure (DIRCM) solution, making it the only pod solution that supports protection by both DIRCM and flares.

Integrating the full AMPS system into an all-in-one Pod solution which includes BIRD's SPREOS Directional Infra-Red Counter-Measure (DIRCM) as well as Missile Launch Detection Sensors (MILDS) and additional Flare Dispensers, the AeroShield Pod was designed to provide the most comprehensive anti-missile aircraft protection for narrow and wide body aircraft and VIP jets. The AeroShield Pod is already fully operational and in use on VIP aircraft. 

Using the AMPS-MV advanced configuration which ensures a Zero False Alarm rate, the AeroShield Pod is suitable for wide body aircraft such as the A320, B737, B777, A380, etc., and can be easily transferred between different aircraft, according to the company.

"We are proud to present our latest solutions at the Paris Air Show. This includes our SPREOS DIRCM solution integrated within the AeroShield Pod which is the only pod solution that supports protection by both DIRCM and flares, and thus is an ideal all-in-one solution for protection of large aircraft and VIP jets," said Ronen Factor, Co-CEO and Founder.
