【I-Master Radar on Scorpion Jet】“天蝎座”飞机+I-Master雷达=强有力的“监视和打击”能力
【据荷兰asdnews网站2015年6月18日报道】泰利斯和德事隆雅兰在2015巴黎国际航展上宣布他们已成功在德事隆雅兰的“天蝎座”飞机上共同集成了泰利斯的I-Master雷达。

集成商表示：将该雷达添加到“天蝎座”的任务系统提升了已具有高终端EO/IR能力的情报、监视和侦察（ISR）传感器套件。只在两周内就完成了将多模式雷达集成到“天蝎座”上，第一次飞行试验在五月下旬进行。
结合一部EO/IR相机，I-Master增加了远距离、广域监视和目标跟踪。所有的有效载荷都可以同时由一名操作员操作。

泰利斯I-Master雷达介绍 时长5分16秒
泰利斯I-Master雷达是一种紧凑、轻巧、全天候战术监视雷达，提供了世界领先的地面移动目标指示（GMTI）、合成孔径雷达（SAR）和海上移动目标指示（MMTI）模式。
I-Master提供高保真图像用于在陆地和海洋上于远距离对移动和静止目标进行定位和分类。单个传感器的模式选择与其小型化以及高性能使得I-Master非常适合一系列空中监视任务，例如海事安全、边界保卫、灾害/人道援助和打击毒品交易。

Thales and Textron AirLand Announce Successful Integration of I-Master Radar on Scorpion Jet
Published on ASDNews: Jun 17, 2015
http://www.asdnews.com/news-61860/Thales_and_Textron_AirLand_Announce_Successful_Integration_of_I-Master_Radar_on_Scorpion_Jet.htm
Thales and Textron AirLand announced today at the International Paris Air Show 2015, that they have successfully jointly integrated Thales’ I-Master radar on to Textron AirLand’s Scorpion Jet(tm). The addition of the radar into the Scorpion’s mission system compliments the Intelligence, Surveillance and Reconnaissance (ISR) sensor suite which already includes a high end EO/IR capability.
Having integrated the multi-mode radar into Scorpion within just two weeks, the first flight trials took place in late May. Combined with an EO/IR camera, I-Master adds long range, wide area surveillance and target tracking. Both payloads are operated simultaneously by a single operator.
“Thales is very pleased to have worked with Textron Airland to integrate the Thales I-Master radar onto the Scorpion jet. As a market leader, we are continuously striving to improve our offerings. This joint exercise shows how flexible the radar is and how easily it can be integrated onto a platform. The combination of I-Master and the Scorpion jet demonstrates a powerful ‘surveillance and strike’ capability.” said Eddie Awang, Thales’s Vice President in charge of Intelligence, Surveillance & Reconnaissance business
Textron AirLand’s Scorpion was introduced in 2013 and has completed more than 400 hours of flight testing with an exceptionally high mission availability score. Scorpion is a highly affordable, multi-mission aircraft offering diverse capabilities including intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance, humanitarian assistance, disaster relief, advanced training and precision strike.
Aircraft features include twin-engine power, two-seat operation, large internal payload capacity, high-definition ISR cameras, wing-mounted weapons stations, and modern avionics within an all-composite structure. With the ability to get to an escalating situation quickly – yet manoeuvring at much lower speeds, Scorpion brings the ability to see and exploit perishable intelligence and strike fleeting targets, bringing tactical advantage to demanding situations.
The Thales I-Master radar is a compact, lightweight, all-weather tactical surveillance radar, providing world-leading Ground Moving Target Indication (GMTI), Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) performance and Maritime Moving Target Indication (MMTI) mode. I-MASTER provides high fidelity imagery for locating and classifying both moving and stationary targets at long stand-off ranges over land and sea.
The choice of modes in a single sensor, together with its small form factor and high-performance capability, makes I-Master ideally suited for a range of air surveillance missions such as maritime security, border protection, disaster/humanitarian relief and counter narcotics.
