In an increasingly complex world, information superiority has become ever more important, leading to a change in the requirements of the armed forces and precipitating a move towards complete system solutions in response to new asymmetric threats. Maintaining in control demands the instant availability of the right information in the right place at the right time. Modern armed forces rely on optimised ISR solutions to achieve this objective. Offering all-weather Intelligence, Surveillance, Target Acquisition and Reconnaissance (ISTAR) capabilities based on manned and unmanned airborne systems and on spaceborne imagery systems, EADS responds to customers’ main requirements of ensuring authentic and independent situation assessment for military operations, international peacekeeping missions and homeland security.
