May 14, 2012, the industrial workshop of Aeronautics (IAA) Cuers Pierrefeu-delivered the upgraded Super Etendard (SEM) No. 62, last SEM rolled out of industrial maintenance service of aviation (SIAé) Services, under the Chief of Staff of the Air Force.
For 30 years, AIA Cuers-Pierrefeu was a major player in the fleet availability by performing SEM over 140 major maintenance visits.
The workshop also provided all changes and updates to the standard of the aircraft requested by the Navy, because of changing technologies and operational needs.
AIA-Cuers Pierrefeu holds a recognized knowledge and expertise on military aircraft.
This workshop is particularly specialized in the design, manufacture and repair of radomes.
Made from composites, radomes used to protect the onboard radar weather assault and shock due to aerodynamic pressures or encounter obstacles.
They equip aircraft like the Rafale, Mirage 2000 and F1, the Transall, the upgraded Super Etendard, the NH90 or the Atlantic 2.
Cuers-Pierrefeu is one of five sites where the SIAé relies to maintain equipment in operational condition of the air armies, with workshops Ambérieu, Bordeaux, Clermont-Ferrand and Britain.
