HAL Inks Two Major Pacts

​

Aerospace major Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) has signed a technology transfer agreement with Sagem (Safran) of France, for manufacture and maintenance of the latter’s SIGMA 95 laser gyro-navigation system in India.Developed by Sagem for fixed and rotary-wing combat aircraft, SIGMA 95 is an autonomous, hybrid laser gyro inertial/GPS-Glonass navigation system. It is capable of withstanding severe environments and gives military aircraft a high degree of navigation precision and operational flexibility, even in areas without GPS signals.

According to the agreement, HAL will be able to produce SIGMA 95 units for the IAF and also provide frontline maintenance. Sagem has further consolidated its partnership with the Indian aerospace industry through this agreement. Several combat aircraft deployed by the Indian Air Force and the Navy, including the Hawk, Jaguar, Tejas, MiG-29, MiG-27 and Su-30 are already fitted with Sagem’s navigation systems.

Tie-Up With IIT-M​

As part of its efforts to boost industry-academia synergy, HAL on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding with the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras.

The MoU was signed by HAL chairman T Suvarna Raju and Prof R Nagarajan, dean, International and Alumni Relations, IIT-M. Raju said HAL will benefit greatly by establishing a Chair at the institute. “We have the knowledge and potential for research. We have already done a lot of research and, through such partnerships, we will take steps to strengthen research activities,” he said.

Sigma 95N Inertial Navigation System

​

Sigma 95N is a high-performance navigation system designed for most demanding aeronautic applications that require high navigation and guidance accuracy.

The Sigma 95N INS is based upon three highly accurate digital laser gyroscopes. It is equipped with a GPS or GPS/Glonass receiver and makes use of a powerful multimode Kalman filter to optimize performance by hybridizing inertial and satellite data. It can also integrate NATO’s new Selective Availability/Anti-Spoofing Module (SAASM) and in the close future, the Europe’s upcoming Gallileo system. Its open design and versatile interfaces multi-standard (Mil-Std-1553B, Arinc, Gost, etc.) allow easy integration in all types of avionic configurations and platforms.

Sagem and HAL sign technology transfer agreement for SIGMA 95 laser gyro navigation systems on Indian combat aircraft
Bangalore, Aero India 2015, February, 18th, 2015

Indian aerospace giant Hindustan Aeronautics Ltd (HAL) has signed a technology transfer agreement with Sagem (Safran) concerning the manufacture and maintenance in India of Sagem's SIGMA 95 laser gyro navigation systems.

Developed by Sagem for fixed and rotary-wing combat aircraft, the SIGMA 95 is an autonomous, hybrid laser gyro inertial/GPS-Glonass* navigation system. It stands up to severe environments, and gives military aircraft a high degree of navigation precision and operational flexibility, thus supporting the success of even the most demanding missions, including in areas without GPS signals.

According to the terms of this agreement, HAL will be able to produce SIGMA 95 units for the Indian air force, and also provide "level 3" front line maintenance.

Sagem has further consolidated its partnership with the Indian aerospace industry through this agreement. Several hundred combat aircraft deployed by the Indian Air Force and Navy are already fitted with Sagem's laser gyro navigation systems, including the Hawk, Jaguar, Tejas, MiG-29 and -27 and Su-30.

Sagem's laser gyro navigation systems are produced in the company's Montluçon plant in the Auvergne region of south-central France. They are used on the latest military aircraft in France and worldwide, including the Dassault Rafale and Mirage 2000 fighters, Airbus A400M Atlas transport, and the Airbus Helicopters NH90 and EC725 Caracal helicopters, transport and special forces versions.

* GPS (Global Positioning System) and Glonass (GLObal'naya NAvigatsionnaya Sputnikovaya Sistema) are the satellite positioning systems deployed by the U.S. and Russia, respectively.
