Israeli based BIRD Aerosystems has won a new contract to upgrade and improve the Airborne Missile Protection Systems (AMPS) systems which were previously provided to the Czech Air Force.
BIRD’s AMPS are installed on the Czech Air Force Mi-17 helicopters and successfully and operationally deployed in different dangerous and complicated conflict zones, including Afghanistan. The overall program includes an upgrade to the MILDS UV detection sensors and the MCDU Mission computers provided by BIRD Aerosystems as well as provision for future installation of BIRD’s MACS (Missile Approach Confirmation Sensor).
