HAL awards Saab follow-on contract for Dhruv EW suite - IHS Jane's 360
Saab has been awarded a SEK216 million (USD33 million) contract to supply its Integrated Defensive Aids Suite (IDAS) to Hindustan Aeronautic Limited (HAL) for its Dhruv multirole helicopter.
In a statement, Saab said the IDAS is an electronic warfare suite that "provides a timely warning against different types of threats, including radar, laser and missile approach warning; and automatically deploys the appropriate countermeasures".
HAL first ordered IDAS for the Dhruv in 2008; this contract is for series production of the system, which will be undertaken by Saab subsidiary Saab Grintek Defence (formerly Avitronics) in South Africa.
In 2011 the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and Sweden's Defence Research Establishment (FOI) signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to fit Saab's Coherent All RAdio BAnd Sensing (CARABAS) foliage-penetrating airborne surveillance radar to the Dhruv.
