Why Sabir?

Although the concept is platform independent, the first SABIR system was designed for the ubiquitous C-130 aircraft.

With SABIR, this well-established and reliable aircraft can, for a small fraction of the cost of a new purpose-built aircraft, be transformed into a sophisticated C4ISR platform while often not losing any significant capacity as a basic cargo aircraft.

At the most basic level, a few inexpensive SABIR components can dramatically increase crew comfort and visibility. Adding the SABIR Scanner Door with its bulbous window actually provides for intersecting fields of view all around the aircraft.

SABIR is a system of individual “bolt-on” modular components that can be configured in a number of ways to support various missions, aircraft configurations, and other customer-specific requirements.

• The Sabir AS-7 strut takes about 1 minute to deploy or retract
• The T-4 Workstation & LRU Racks are universal mounting systems, are modular and open to incorporate a wide variety of technology solutions.
• All SABIR components are fully operational whether the aircraft is pressurized or not.
• The SABIR strut is electrically operated and also has independent manual retraction systems to provide redundancy.
• The AS-6BKS Scanner Door provides dramatically increased visibility, and intersecting fields of view with an observer on the opposite side of the aircraft.
• The AS-5S Stanchion Seat is adjustable to accommodate individual comfort as well as position; whether facing forward at a workstation, rearward for crash protection, or outward into a comfortable attitude for scanning out the window of the Scanner Door.
