Airbus and Navantia, S.A., S.M.E sign an agreement to explore the integration of SIRTAP into the Spanish Navy Juan Carlos I flagship.
This aims to be the first step to guarantee the interoperability of SIRTAP with the rest of systems of the carrier, such as the SCOMBA combat system.
Integration activities will focus on pillars:
➡️ Command and control (C2)
➡️ Combat system integration
➡️ Navigation support (incl. take-off and landing operations)
This joint effort seeks to achieve a fully integrated system, ensuring complete compatibility between SIRTAP and Juan Carlos I carrier, increasing its mission capabilities, operational flexibility, and the overall effectiveness of both platforms in diverse operational scenarios.
This agreement could set the path to offer the Spanish Navy with additional capabilities developed in Spain, strengthening the national industry in the benefit of its strategic sovereignty.
