Airborne Technologies, the Austrian ISR specialist, is to deliver a specially equipped Airbus Helicopters EC135 to the Slovenian police force. The helicopter is equipped with Airborne Technologies’ Airborne Linx ISR/mission management package and will carry an L-3 Wescam MX-15Di electro-optic sensor turret and an A800 searchlight from TrakkaBeam. The helicopter will also have a carbon-fiber tactical work station in the rear cabin, which can be removed for transport or other missions.

Airborne Technologies has developed a range of hardware for easy modification of helicopters for surveillance roles, including carbon tubing that can be attached to the aircraft’s skids to provide mounting points for four payloads. Various brackets have been designed to attach to the tubing to mount electro-optic turrets, searchlights and other equipment.
