• Thales to supply Scorpion® helmet display for Air Force EF-18 fighter jets (5. Oktober 2016)
  

  The Spanish Ministry of Defence will equip the EF-18 with 80 Thales Scorpion® Helmet Mounted Cueing Systems (HMCS). These HMCS will be installed in the aircraft during the course of 2016 and 2017, once the operational qualification phase and air-to-air (A2A) and air-to-ground (A2G) tests have been completed.
  
  
  Scorpion® is a ‘force multiplier’ system offering full colour symbology (navigation, intelligence, combat, etc.) for both nighttime and daytime missions, in addition to target cueing in potentially degraded visual environments, therefore easily allowing target designation and allocation of points of interest with the aircraft’s sensors. Scorpion® is fully interchangeable between helmets/pilots as it is installed directly over standard helmets, allowing the total amount of equipment necessary for the fleet to be reduced, thus favouring maintenance and reducing life-cycle costs.
  
  Thales will be responsible for the viability study, testing phase, integration with test aircraft, qualification support and integration in the fleet. Thales will also be responsible for the development and production of the specific Scorpion® configuration for the Spanish EF-18 including ejection safety analysis. The qualification phase includes inter-operability with the IRIS-T missile and the daytime/ nighttime-imaging pod for cueing lightening targets.

Mit dem Hubschrauberpaket gemäß Ministerratsbeschluss vom 22. August 2018 ist die Nachfolge des Hubschraubers „Alouette III“ gesichert. Die Nachbeschaffung von 12 Stück neuen Mehrzweckhubschraubern und zusätzlichen modernen Schulungshubschraubern wird für eine erhöhte Einsatzbereitschaft im Ernstfall sorgen. Die S-70 „Black Hawk“- Flotte wird um drei Stück auf 12 Hubschrauber erweitert werden. Das Avionic Update der übrigen „Black Hawks“ ist im Laufen und wird 2021 abgeschlossen sein.
