Meggitt's Securaplane Technologies wins contract with Gulfstream

Meggitt’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Securaplane Technologies, has been selected by Gulfstream to provide high definition cameras for the G650 aircraft.

The aerospace and defence engineer said Securaplane and Gulfstream have entered into a multi-million dollar contract for a system that will be standard fit on all future production G650 aircraft and offered as a retrofit for aircraft in service.

Securaplane president Shubhayu Chakraborty said: "Gulfstream continues to raise the bar in terms of customer experience and we are delighted to be supporting its aspiration to provide high quality video to rival customers' experience at home."

The HD camera designs are form-factor identical to the existing Securaplane standard definition cameras installed on all previous G650 aircraft.

Securaplane manufactures camera, security and power products for aviation. Over 2,000 camera units are installed and flying in aircraft ranging from executive fleets to the jetliners operated by the world's largest airlines.

The airborne video camera systems are used for situational awareness during taxi, in-flight entertainment for passengers, cabin and external security and flight crew observation of aircraft control surfaces.
