INDIAN AIRFORCE SELECTS BRITISH COMBAT RECOVERY SYSTEM

The government of the Republic of India has selected Signature Industries of London to provide a GPS Combat Recovery System for all fast jet pilots. Pilot safety has been an increasing concern to the Indian Air Force.

Signature was chosen following rigorous technical assessments, by the Indian Air Force, of systems from the world’s leading suppliers of Search and Rescue Equipment.

David Cairnie, Signature’s Managing Director, said “Signature’s famous SARBE products are supplied to military forces throughout the world and this latest contract is the result of Signature’s ongoing commitment to technical investment in order to support our customer’s increasing need for greater sophistication from personnel recovery systems”.

The unit is mission configurable through extensive programming options. In ‘peacetime’ mode it has the ability to utilise the network of geo-stationary satellites which monitor the emergency channel 406MHz. This provides very fast notification of beacon activation to rescue agencies worldwide.
