Securaplane extends pioneering cabin surveillance into Embraer’s E2 jets
Meggitt PLC ( “Meggitt” or “the Group”), a leading international company specialising in high performance components and sub-systems for the aerospace, defence and energy markets, announces that Securaplane, a Meggitt company, has been selected to supply the cabin surveillance system (CSS) for Embraer’s E-Jets E2, in a deal worth approximately $19 million over the life of the programme.
The product is based on a system developed by Securaplane in response to growing aircraft security requirements. The Airbus A320, A330, A340 and A380 aircraft have all been fitted with increasingly sophisticated versions which have proved reliable and easy to install.
Meggitt continues to lead the way in cockpit door surveillance. The Embraer E175-E2, E190-E2, and the E195-E2 aircraft CSS will be equipped with cameras that remain effective over the full light-intensity range and provide multiple views of individuals attempting entry.
Stephen Young, CEO of Meggitt commented:
“The major OEMs have begun installing safety systems on the production line of many large commercial aircraft due to increasingly stringent safety requirements arising over the last decade.
“Our systems ensure that the ability to identify entrants in all cabin conditions is never compromised.”
