Selex ES awarded €5 Million order for Titan turret to equip German Navy
Selex ES has been awarded a contract worth €5 Million (£4.2 Million) by Germany's Federal Ministry of Defence to supply a number of Titan 385ES-HD turrets for German Navy (Deutsche Marine) Sea Lynx Mk88A helicopters.
The Titan 385ES-HD (Enhanced Stability-High Definition) turrets will allow German Navy pilots to see their environment clearly while navigating and performing surveillance missions at night and in conditions of poor visibility. The turret payload includes a cooled, high-definition thermal imaging camera, an uncooled thermal imaging camera and a low-level light camera, all integrated on a stabilised platform. First deliveries are expected later this year.
The Turret is mounted in the upright position on the nose of the Lynx providing the pilot with a forward looking IR capability. Other configurations have the Turret installed in the pendulous position mounted below the aircraft, illustrating the versatility of the Titan System.
The order follows the German Navy's successful use of earlier versions of Selex ES's turrets including the Multi-Role Turret and the previous generation of the Titan turret, both of which are still in service today.
