BIRD Aerosystems, the leading developer of Airborne Missile Protection Systems (
AMPS) and Special Mission Aircraft Solutions (ASIO), introduces the AeroShield(M):
a compact version of its combat-proven all-in-one AeroShield pod.

**AeroShield(M) supports the installation of BIRD’s AMPS on medium size VIP jets**

Equipped with BIRD’s field-proven AMPS solution, AeroShield is an all-in-one Pod
solution for protection of narrow and wide-body aircraft. The AeroShield pod offers
the most comprehensive anti-missile protection by uniquely using both BIRD’s SPREOS
DIRCM and Flares and enabling customers to fly fully protected in the most challenging
theaters.

AeroShield(M) is a compact and lightweight version of the AeroShield Pod. AeroShield(
M) is tailored to support the installation of BIRD’s AMPS on medium size VIP jets
such as the Falcon and Gulfstream. Easily installed, the compact AeroShield(M) POD
integrates Missile Launch Detection Sensors (MILDS) and Flare Dispensers, and can
incorporate either the MACS sensor or SPREOS DIRCM – according to the specific needs
of each customer.

Integrating BIRD’s AMPS in a smaller and more compact all-in-one pod, AeroShield(
M) ensures the highest aircraft survivability while reducing the aircraft signature
and drag. Unveiled by the company for the first time, the AeroShield(M)POD is already
fully certified, and will be installed and operational in the coming months.

with reduced drag and minimal interference. Easily installed and can be simply transferred
between different platforms, AeroShield(M) is an ideal pod solution for medium-size
VIP jets.”
