Background
The ATOS (Airborne Tactical Observation and

Surveillance) has been developed in order to
fulfil a requirement from the Italian Guardia di
Finanza for an airborne surveillance system
supporting Maritime Surveillance missions.
Over the last two decades the ATOS has been
continuously updated to remain state of the art,
and enhanced to meet new requirements and
the needs of many international Customers.
Thanks to continuous investments, ATOS is
now available in different configurations all
integrating leading edge sensors and systems.

Introduction
Airborne Tactical Observation & Surveillance systems

ATOS is a modular and open architecture system. Various configurations are available to properly fit medium range aircraft,
small aircraft and helicopters.
Offshore patrol with electronic and electro-optics sensors to detect,
localise, classify and track a large class of vessels.
Search and Rescue (SAR) missions.
Antipollution Surveillance and fishery protection.
Anti Submarine Warfare (with dedicated specialised sensors).
Anti smuggling, anti infiltration.

International Customers Portfolio
More than 50 ATOS installed world wide on different

platforms for several operators:
Italian Treasury Police, Italian Coast Guard, Ecuadorian
Navy, Nigerian Navy, Australian Customs, Italian MoD
(this is the current ATR-72 MLR program).
In Operations on various different platforms:
fixed-wing: ATR-42MP, P166, B300, KA-350ER,
Dash-8, CN 235;
rotary-wing: Bell 412, SA 350.
High reliability:
As an example, the Australian SIM Mission
System has accumulated since 2009 around
50,000 Hours of Operations, without any
mission failure on the Dash-8 platform.

Key Capabilities
The service provided to the Australian

Customs
and
Border
Protection
Command is not one of flying aircraft but
the delivery of surveillance data.
The SIM is used to control the mission
sensors and communications systems, such
as radar electro-optics and satellite
communications.
Through these interfaces, the SIM is able to control the employment of the various
systems and to capture, correlate, record and communicate all elements of
surveillance data relevant to contact or event and to provide an evidentiary-quality
mission record for use in prosecution.
The SIM uses satellite communication systems to share these data in real time with
the Ground Station and other aircraft enabling better decision making and
coordination both on board the aircraft and on ground.
