BIRD Aerosystems

BIRD Aerosystems is a defence technology company. It provides airborne solutions that protect the air, sea and land fleets of governments and related agencies. The company says its solutions protect customers and secure their assets.

Its Airborne Missile Protection System (AMPS) family protects crews and aircraft against all known surface to air missiles. It protects against threats such as man portable air defense systems (MANPADS), laser beam rider missiles and radar guided missiles. AMPS is integrated with BIRD's patented confirmation and tracking sensors. This gives a zero false alarm rate.

The missile protection range also includes MACS, SPREOS and AEROSHIELD. SPREOS is a self protection radar electro optic system with directed infrared countermeasures.

The ASIO solution is an airborne intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance system. It suits maritime and ground surveillance, search and rescue, patrol and monitoring. It combines all weather sensors with BIRD's Multi Sensor Integration System (MSIS) mission management system.

BIRD offers complete turnkey programmes. Its services include systems design, installation, certification, maintenance, logistics and MRO work. The company says it delivers these services in house through its wholly owned Maintenance and Repair Organization. It says this lets it control quality for each integrated system.

Customers include the US government, UN Air Operations and NATO forces. In February 2025 the company announced a follow on order from a NATO European client for AMPS. The order covers VIP Dassault Falcon 7X and Airbus A319 aircraft. The ASIO maritime patrol aircraft was also demonstrated as part of Nigeria's NIMASA Deep Blue project.
