Thales UK has launched its new Vicon XF Intelligent Counter Measure Dispenser System (CMDS) at FIA2010. The new product follows on from the proven and widely used Vicon 78 CMDS, but expands on its capabilities through the provision of a programmable SmartStore Dispenser system which intuitively knows both the specific type of countermeasure and its location within the dispenser unit.

Vicon XF is aimed at both the UK domestic and international Defensive Aids System (DAS) markets for both fixed wing and rotary wing platforms. Vicon XF is fully interchangeable with Vicon 78 providing existing customers a simple upgrade path to an enhanced operational capability with a proven support infrastructure.

The new product has generated substantial interest at the show from visiting delegations, DAS integrators and platform builders and promises to continue Thales UK’s strong heritage in the provision of effective and affordable airborne counter measure systems.
