SELEX Galileo is at the forefront of the design, development and integration of leading airborne sensing solutions for a variety of military and government aircraft. Advanced sensors are characterised by a truly open architecture, enabling them to be installed on new or retrofit platforms where they can be fully integrated or stand alone additions.

Our Electro-Optic (EO) systems provide high resolution surveillance capability and enhanced vision for aircrew. Our EO sub-systems include high power lasers for long range designation of ground targets (selected for the Lockheed Martin Sniper pod and Joint Strike Fighter EO targeting system), long range target identification systems using Burst Illumination and world leading dual band cameras.

Our systems are designed to improve mission effectiveness, enhance survivability and be affordable throughout their service life. By increasing the use of COTS components, we aim to ensure affordable capability with the effective insertion of state-of-the-art technology.
SELEX Galileo has also been at the forefront of developing availability-based support contracts that focus on the Customer's identified value whilst incentivising the supply-chain to deliver continuous improvement. This model has been successfully applied for the avionics support to various fast-jet and rotary platforms including for Tornado, Harrier, Sea King and Merlin aircraft.
