EADS CASA FITS (Fully Integrated Tactical System) - The Fully Integrated Tactical System is the result of EADS CASA experience and success in mission systems for Maritime Patrol activities, such as Antisubmarine Warfare (ASW), Antisurface Warfare (ASuW), Exclusive Economic Zone control (EEZ), Search and Rescue (SAR). Since 1991 CASA has steadily progressed in the definition and development of Integrated Mission Systems, through a succession of company-funded technology demonstration programs and customer version developments. FITS is the basic core of the EADS CASA mission system, made up of a variable number of universal and reconfigurable Operator Consoles, interfaced with two redundant tactical processors, through a Local Area Network (LAN). The CASA FITS integrates the data coming from a suite of sensors specifically adapted to the maritime patrol mission in aerial platforms, ranging from the EADS CASA C-212, EADS CASA CN-235 and EADS CASA C-295 to helicopters or larger aircraft such as the P-3. |
