STN ATLAS, which belongs to the Rheinmetall AG group, produces electronic systems for naval ships, land and air forces, simulation systems for military and civil applications.

agriculture and forests: quantifying the role of agriculture and forestry in the sustainable development of the various production systems and different rural areas (agricultural multifunctionality); quantifying the impact of this activity on the quality of water, soils and air under each production system; devising strategies and mechanisms within the framework of the CAP or other common policies that will make it possible to consolidate sustainable agriculture (particularly with regard to support for farmers as occupants and managers of rural areas, introduction of new production methods with greater respect for the environment and b ...[+++]iodiversity, application of new farm waste recycling techniques, encouraging the use of alternatives to existing inputs by industry to guarantee production and combat pests and diseases, extending techniques to combat erosion and the effects of fire and acid rain on forests and, lastly, the introduction of animal welfare rules);

The non-military applications of the joint venture only generate a minor part of the joint venture's turnover and relate to the following areas: air traffic control/air traffic management systems, civil command, control and information systems and civil simulation and training systems.

We must react as quickly as possible, particularly as we know which substances deplete the ozone layer. Firstly, there are the hydrochlorofluorocarbons or HCFCs. These are used mainly in refrigeration technology and air-conditioning systems, as solvents and in the production of insulating foam. Secondly, there is methyl bromide which is primarily used for soil fumigation to combat pests and plant diseases. It is classified by the WHO as “highly toxic”. Thirdly, there are the chlorofluorocarbons or CFCs which are now only contained in ...[+++]refrigeration systems but which were originally used in the production of plastic foam, solvents and aerosol propellants.

We have renamed them as air combat systems officers. They will continue to carry out some air navigation duties but they will also lead unmanned aerial vehicle operations, crew strategic air-to-air refuelling aircraft and perform intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance duties in a multiple aircraft.
