EuroGrid EuroGrid is a digital map system for the display of coloured topographic terrain maps. On the display, these electronic maps move simultaneously with the flight movement of the helicopter. This modern map system has been specifically designed for use on board Tiger. Relevant utilisation features are, for example, the support of the crew in navigation, communication, planning and overview of the tactical situation. Furthermore, the digital map system is an importing link to other aerial and ground vehicles, as well as to the ground station and - in addition - to the command post leading the mission.

“Our cooperation will foster the growth and development of the TEDS market both in Korea and on a global scale. We are proud to continue our long-term partnership with Cassidian and are convinced that the new portfolio will further increase the TETRA technology footprint in the industrial and utility markets as well,” said Ryoo Jang-soo, CEO of APSI.
