Ruag Aerospace and Saab Avitronics are launching a low-cost protection system for helicopters that can be rapidly installed to provide a range of protective features on a per-mission basis. The plug-on device (POD) is an integrated, self-contained unit offering high levels of protection against man-portable and other low-level missile threats.

POD can be mounted on available hardpoints in around 15 minutes, and can easily be “exported” between individual helicopters. It can be powered from sources such as those used for external winches or other systems, or can be battery powered if no external source is available.
