Eads Meads delivery note.
The tri-national Medium Extended Air Defence System (Meads) being
developed by Germany, Italy and the United States is slated to receive
more than 40,000 transmit/receive (T/R) modules from Fads Defence
Electronics during the programme's $3.5 billion design and
development phase, which is scheduled to run until 2009. The T/R modules
are key elements of the electronic steering system of the fire control
radar, which uses Active Electronically Scanning Array (Aesa)
technology. Fads will deliver its SMTR standard T/R module built at the
company's Ulm production site, dubbed the MicroWaveFactory.
