Insta and Saab deepen partnership on Active Noise Reduction system

By Defence Industry Europe

Finnish technology company Insta has announced an expansion of its collaboration with Swedish defence firm Saab, focusing on the continued development of its Insta ANR (Active Noise Reduction) system. This marks a new phase in a partnership that began in 2020, initially centred on providing the ANR solution for the Gripen E and F fighter jets used by the Swedish and Brazilian Air Forces.

 

The Insta ANR system is designed to significantly improve hearing protection and reduce cockpit noise, enhancing pilot performance and reducing fatigue. By using digital signal processing (DSP) technology, the system can attenuate low-frequency noise down to 30 Hz, allowing for clearer communication and greater pilot focus.

Following successful integration into the Gripen aircraft and thorough testing in both laboratory and flight environments, the two companies have agreed to broaden their collaboration. The next step will see the Insta ANR system tailored to future fighter helmets, aiming to ensure optimal performance in a variety of demanding operational conditions.
