Sagem (Safran) and Kamov (Russian Helicopters) have combined their complementary areas of technological and industrial expertise to develop an enhanced version of the Kamov-52 Alligator attack helicopter, which will address a requirement expressed by several countries.

Sagem and Kamov started working together in 2011, with the aim of offering upgrade solutions, including integration, for Kamov helicopters, in particular Sagem optronic equipment and LINS 100 (*) inertial navigation systems. The two companies plan to start integration of a new optronic system in early 2014.
