BIRD Aerosystems, a global provider of innovative airborne defense solutions, announces a significant milestone with a contract from the Israeli Ministry of Defense (DDR&D) for the development, installation and testing of its Airborne Missile Protection System (AMPS), including its recently developed µDIRCM solution on the Israeli Air Force’s Apache helicopter. The system is developed in collaboration with the Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D) of the Israeli Ministry of Defense. 

Under the agreement, BIRD will develop, integrate, deliver and test  its AMPS solution, incorporating the world’s most compact and advanced DIRCM, ensuring full protection of IAF’s Apache helicopter against modern ground-to-air threats.
