Scandinavian Astor Group AB: Astor Group's subsidiary Oscilion takes the next step - starts flight tests with the Astor IV radar jammer
Scandinavian Astor Group's (`Astor Group' or the `Company') electromagnetic warfare company Oscilion announces today that the necessary regulatory approvals to begin test flights with the advanced radar jamming system, Astor IV, have been received. The test flights have now commenced and mark an important milestone in the development of the system.
"The fact that we can now start an extensive test programme with an airborne jammer like Astor IV is an important milestone for both our technical development and commercial establishment. We look forward to following the test results and continuing to develop the dialogues with our partners and customers", says Fredrik Bergman, CEO of the subsidiary Oscilion.
Oscilion has an established co-operation with the French Red Air service company SDTS. The co-operation comprises three phases - integration, demonstration and in-service - with the aim of delivering reliable and advanced airborne EW solutions. Ground tests of Astor IV have already been carried out with good results, but the flight tests and demonstrations in the air have required regulatory approval, which has now been obtained. The first flight of the system was conducted today, marking the start of an extensive test programme against moving and stationary targets.
