Innovation has always been at the heart of Safran Electronics & Defense’s strategy: its products’ competitiveness rests in large part on the successful integration of technological breakthroughs, providing clients with a decisive advantage. The primary areas of focus are multispectral optronics, image processing, new-generation tactical drones, vibrating gyros and MEMS (micro-electromechanical systems), applied to next-generation navigation systems for both military and civil applications. For example, this user-oriented strategy led to the development of the active side-stick unit a new-generation “joystick” for airplane and helicopter pilots.

We recognize the power of a mindset that puts innovation at the forefront of every business activity. It is therefore that COBBS is partnering with Safran for several years in the account of Weapon Systems & Optics with optronics solutions. The companies Safran Electronics & Defence, Safran Vectronix and Safran Optics1 produce a high-quality family of systems in target acquisition and thermal imaging which are beloved solutions within the Belgian and Dutch LEAF community.
In the domain of Unmanned Systems & Sensors, we partner on optronics and navigation systems. With the smallest gyroscope in the world created by Safran, we are proud to be working with Safran Electronics & Defense to fulfil the requirements of the BENELUX LEAF community for small and powerful navigation systems, applicable to any platform.
