Had de UAE geen C17's gekocht?

Zij hebben de C-17 in gebruik, maar in het dsca.mil artikel wordt wel specifiek gesproken over Head of State aircraft.

[Harald]

Dit gaat over een systeem voor grote toestellen, 777, A320, 747 etc, vraag me dus af of dit hetzelfde systeem betreft als wat je op Apaches schroeft.

De DIRCM was bedoeld voor de Amase pods van Terma inderdaad. Ze zijn wel getest, maar konden niet aangeschaft worden. Denk dat budget hier ook wel een rolletje heeft gespeeld.   

Deze is idd voor grotere toestellen maar het principe blijft hetzelfde lijkt mij.

[Sparkplug]

volgens mij was dat Terma.

Inderdaad Terma.

Dit gaat over een systeem voor grote toestellen, 777, A320, 747 etc, vraag me dus af of dit hetzelfde systeem betreft als wat je op Apaches schroeft.

Terma heeft inderdaad geen systeem voor de genoemde types. Wel voor bijvoorbeeld de P-8A.

Precies. NL mocht dit niet aanschaffen en ontwikkelde zelf een soortgelijk systeem met Deens bedrijf (naam even ontschoten) genaamd AMASE voor aan onze apaches en chinooks.
Wel vreemd dat de UAE dit nu wel mag kopen, of het met een mindere versie zijn misschien.
