This achievement marks the culmination of a remarkable collaboration with the prime contractor Zimex Aviation Ltd., the Danish Airforce Home Guard, and the Danish Ministry of Defence. The state-of-the-art patrol platforms, equipped with the Airborne LINX Surveillance System, are designed to undertake a wide range of missions, including Surveillance, Search and Rescue (SAR), and Maritime Patrol operations.
The project’s highlights include a cutting-edge operator workstation, an observer station, and a comprehensive ISR surveillance suite. The modifications were finalized through a collaborative cross-European effort between Altenrhein, Switzerland, and Wiener Neustadt, Austria, showcasing the expertise and dedication of all teams involved.
Wolfgang Grumeth, CEO of Airborne Technologies, remarks, “Seeing these aircraft take to the skies is a proud moment for our team. Together with Zimex, we have created two exceptional platforms that align perfectly with the demanding mission profiles of the Danish Home Guard. Having already modified more than a dozen Twin Otters for various clients worldwide, this project represents another significant achievement for our team. We wish the Danish crews safe operations.”
