Indian Defence Review

Successfully proven in remote areas supporting long deployments.  High readiness and reliability. The C295 was developed in complete secrecy at Airbus Military’s plant in Seville in Spain. Rapid prototyping was once again employed making good use of 3-D computer aided design married to intensive concurrent engineering in order to install a full-scale, 6m diameter, radar rotodome on a C295 for aerodynamic testing. The tests quickly demonstrated the aircraft’s suitability, and the track record of the radar from Airbus Military’s partner ELTA Systems meant that the C295 AEW&C could immediately be offered with confidence to the market where it has secured strong interest.
