Digital Map Generator Approved For European Military Transport

System Could Expand To Civilian Use

The Digital Map Generator System (DMGS) from EADS Defence & Security (DS) has been certified for use on board the A400M military transport aircraft. Approval for use in flight was granted as part of a first flight acceptance review carried out by Airbus. In parallel to this, conformity of the equipment with certification requirements was examined by the military aviation authorities. Due to the fact that the certification is based on civil regulations, general flight acceptance for all European airspace is also possible.

The first DMGS from Defence Electronics, an integrated activity of DS, had already been delivered to Airbus' Toulouse site two years ago and tested since then under laboratory conditions. In this context, special attention was paid to checking the interfaces to other systems. Finally the DMGS proved to be able to meet the high demands of Airbus.

"Our many years of experience with digital map generators, which offer pilots a large amount of valuable information, is based on developments for combat aircraft and military helicopters," explains Bernd Wenzler, CEO of Defence Electronics. "Thanks to our successful products we have demonstrated our leading role in the field of digital map generators on board European platforms."
