The focus was on, among other things, topics such as maintenance, upgrades and modifications to the F/A-18 fighter aircraft with a view to procuring the new combat aircraft, TH06 Super Puma and TH98 Cougar upgrades and servicing, the Integrated Radio Reconnaissance and Transmission System (IFASS), training for our apprentices, unmanned aerial vehicle demonstrations and the ADS 15 Detect and Avoid System.

Nicolas Perrin especially praised RUAG's dedicated employees: «Again and again, I am able to see for myself that our employees make a valuable contribution to Swiss sovereign security.»
