The German avionics specialist AEE Aircraft Electronic Engineering GmbH will remain the supplier of TETRA radio systems for Airbus Helicopters in Germany for the next 10 years. 

It will now also supply Airbus Helicopters in France. AEE Managing Director Phillipp Volz and Lukas Hamm-Riff, AEE accountable manager EASA Part 21G & Part 145, have now signed the corresponding contract for the extension and expansion of the cooperation until 2036.

AEE has been the sole supplier of radio systems for Airbus Helicopters in Germany for around 20 years: the radios are installed in a helicopter control unit, and the associated control panels are installed in the cockpit. 

The radio systems supplied by AEE are used, for example, in helicopters for government agencies.

“This system, with Tetra radio as the standard for digital radio traffic, is simply stable and has been successfully approved in the helicopters,” said Hamm-Riff. “We are pleased that we can continue to serve the segment with one of our top-selling products. Our supplier relationship with Airbus Helicopters began with the radio systems. We are now also developing the IdFX mission computer and SNAF for secure military radio communications for the customer.”

AEE and Heli-One share a long-standing collaboration, including the delivery of our robust infrared-based headset systems – developed to meet the toughest demands of special mission and offshore operations or the Electronic Float Activation System (EFAS).

General Atomics AeroTec Systems GmbH (GA-ATS) is partnering with AEE Aircraft Electronic Engineering GmbH (AEE) to newly develop the Engine Interface Unit (EIU) and the Central Warning System (CAWS) for the new Do228 NXT special-mission aircraft. The aircraft manufacturer and the avionics specialist, both from Germany, signed a corresponding contract.

Daedalean, a leading provider of certifiable AI-based automation and autonomy for aviation, and AEE Aircraft Electronic Engineering, a German avionics specialist, have launched a strategic partnership to bring certifiable AI to the cockpit and develop the next generation of avionics systems.

All AEE customers can be assured that we will continue to set the highest standards in terms of quality, reliability, long-term product availability and documentation.
