A new one on display automatically detects and tracks single or multiple rotary drones and uses what is described as “a 40-mm airbursting precision technique to put up a streamer to take down drones.” The company’s ST Aero division is a big player in passenger-to-freighter (P2F) conversions, airline cabin interiors, and MRO. Last month, it flew the A321-200 P2F conversion for the first time at Sele- tar airport. The program is a cooperation with EFW, the German P2F company that ST owns jointly with Airbus. ST expects to get the supplemental type certificate for the aircraft next month. Meanwhile, the company is hoping to do more A330 conversions. Six have been done so far, three each for DHL and Egypt Air.
