Equipment Package to Alenia for EFA Programme

Eurofighter Typhoon, also known as EFA fighter is the world’s most advanced swing-role combat aircraft providing simultaneously deployable Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface capabilities. This aircraft is a twin-engine, canard–delta wing, multirole fighter, designed originally as an air superiority fighter and is manufactured by a consortium of Airbus, BAE Systems and Leonardo that conducts the majority of the project through a joint holding company, Eurofighter Jagdflugzeug GmbH.

Reliable partner for Space Market: SAR Lupe, for example

SAR-Lupe is Germany’s first reconnaissance satellite system and is used for military purposes. SAR is an abbreviation for synthetic aperture radar and “Lupe” is German for magnifying glass. The SAR-Lupe program consists of five identical (770 kg) satellites, developed by the German aeronautics company OHB-System with the important contribution of Carlo Gavazzi Spazio (CGS). The satellites are controlled by a ground station which is responsible for controlling the system and analysing the retrieved data.

Dimac Red contributed to make a famous Super Car go Faster!

What sort of products or components or services were supplied by Dimac Red in order to improve the performance of a Lamborghini? Surprisingly, especially dealing with the flagship Aventador, it is neither a special turbine, nor an innovative injection system, nor an advanced microcontroller nor a sophisticated Software. It is a “Super Capacitor“!!

The satellites are controlled by a ground station which is responsible for controlling the system and analysing the retrieved data.

Dimac Red worked close to CGS Engineering Team since the very beginning of the design-in process, studying the Applications, attending meetings, working with the Suppliers in order to identify the most suitable set of standard and custom components. “It was a challenging task, but also very exciting”, said Mr. Valter Arosio (now CEO at Dimac Red, but formerly Head of Hi-Rel Product Managers), “a great achievement for Dimac Red Team, in recognition of our accountability and seniority; a remarkable success for the years to come.”

The Customer needed smart solutions, components and services, from multiple Suppliers, with an unprecedented level of reliability. In fact, SAR-Lupe’s “high-resolution” images can be acquired day or night through all weather conditions. The satellites are able to provide up-to-date imagery from almost all regions of the world.

The first satellite was launched from Plesetsk in Russia on 19 December 2006, about a year after the intended launch date; four more satellites were launched at roughly six-month intervals, and the entire system achieved full operational readiness on 22 July 2008. The constellation was planned for 10 years of operational life.

“Such an ambitious Program required excellent planning, management and execution capabilities: also Suppliers had to demonstrate knowledge and professional skills. I was proud to belong to an Organization with deep technical and commercial competences”, reminded the CEO of Dimac Red.

The five satellites operate in three 500-kilometre orbits in planes roughly sixty degrees apart. They use an X-band radar providing a resolution of up to approximately 50 centimetres (‘spotlight mode’, in which the satellite rotates to keep the antenna pointed at a single target). Response time for imaging of a given area is ten hours or less. Thales Alenia Space, other important Customer of Dimac Red across decades, provided the core of the Synthetic Aperture Radar sensors.
