AIRWATCH system provides a full day and night coverage of wide areas for hours. Comparable to a one hundred meters high \u00ab\u00a0virtual mast\u00a0\u00bb, the system offers a persistent aerial surveillance support for crisis management, firefighting, major events, video protection, law enforcement, or perimeters security.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Permanently reaching for technologic, strategic, and industrial breakthrough, the DGA brings its expertise to the French Armed Forces ministry and conducts armaments operations trials. As the first State investor, the DGA\u2019s main objectives consist in equipping Military Forces, preparing their future, as well as supporting the export of armament. \u00a0Through its RAPID program &#8211; Dual innovation support scheme \u2013 the DGA supports the most innovative projects with a strong technological potential in the field of industrial research or experimental development for the defense sector.
