Maritime surveillance: Airbus Helicopters selects Diades Marine’s C-RANGER 300 radar for the U070

Following announcements at Euronaval 2026, French radar specialist Diades Marine confirmed its selection by Airbus Helicopters to equip the U070 platform with its C-RANGER 300 maritime surveillance radar. The contract covers the full industrial scope, including manufacturing, supply, and ongoing support.

Diades Marine designs and manufactures sovereign, mission-oriented maritime surveillance radars. The C-RANGER product family was specifically engineered to meet evolving operational requirements by combining compact, appropriately sized hardware with competitive detection capabilities tailored for emerging uncrewed aerial vehicle (UAV) platforms.

This contract builds on the performance demonstrated during initial operational trials between the two companies. According to Olivier Lacrouts, President of DIADES Group, Airbus Helicopters’ renewed confidence recognizes the teams’ fieldwork and represents a significant step in deploying the new generation of C-RANGER radars across France and international markets.
