Terma Group has been selected by Iomax to provide its modular aircraft self-protection equipment (MASE) for the second-generation Archangel border patrol aircraft. Iomax is currently preparing the first of a new batch of Thrush-based aircraft for delivery to the United Arab Emirates.
Flight-testing of MASE is scheduled to begin this summer. Managed by Terma’s ALQ-213 electronic warfare management system, the MASE is a configurable pod that can be tailored to various mission requirements. For the UAE Archangels, the pod will house missile warning systems and countermeasures dispensers.
Meanwhile, Terma North America is welcoming a new chairman this week. On June 19, Bob Louthan will stand down due to age restrictions in the company bylaws. He is being replaced by Tom Burbage, a graduate of the U.S. Navy Test Pilot School and former program manager for the Lockheed Martin F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
