Airborne Technologies (ABT) have revealed that during the PAvCon Europe Conference, which was held at the company’s Weiner Neustadt HQ, it signed another contract to upgrade an Airbus H135 for the Republic of Slovenia’s Ministry of the Interior. It will join another H135 fitted with ABT’s LINX Surveillance Package which the Slovenian Police ASU has operated since 2016.  Delivery of the upgraded aircraft is due to take place before the end of the year.

The upgrade package includes an ABT carbon fibre operator workstation and carbon fibre camera bracket, L3 Wescam MX-15, a BMS downlink, Shotover augmented reality system with ION recorder as well as Avalex displays and recorder. The elements are unified by the Airborne LINX system which allows the operator to control the entire system via a simple and easy to use touchscreen.

Speaking about the contract ABT CEO Wolfgang Grumeth, said “It was a great week with all the Police Aviation professionals and technology innovators in the house. Besides our successful live demo, showing Smith & Myers Artemis phone location system together with our Partners (L3 Harris, Shotover, ECS and of course Smith & Myers), the signing of the contract was definitely one of the highlights of the event for us.”
