Aonix Selected for Key French Defense Department Project
Sagem chooses Aonix PERC® VM for FELIN Project
Jul 26, 2005 - 19:36 PM
The FELIN system includes a complete armament system focused on the foot soldier that will significantly improve the foot soldiers’ capability and reactivity in the field. With FELIN, the soldier will be able to carry out mission objectives at day or night. Operating within a larger communications network, the infantry will be able to transmit data and video images in addition to communicating via radiotelegraphy. Ballistic protection of the soldiers will be optimized with specific protection against NBC (nuclear, biologic, chemical) attacks. The wearability of equipment has been tailored to ensure that it will not decrease operational performance of soldiers.
“Our participation in the FELIN project confirms our leadership position in the embedded real-time Java language community,” said Jacques Brygier, VP of Marketing at Aonix. “We are honored to have been chosen as a key supplier for this important project.”
The Direction Générale de l’Armement (the French Defense Department) initiated the FELIN project in March 2004. At that time, the Integrated Program Management team notified industrial firm SAGEM that they had been chosen for development, industrialization and manufacturing of FELIN project equipment. The FELIN equipment will become standard fare for French infantry units in 2006, contributing significantly to the readiness and responsiveness of troups.
