Grifo Multimode Family 
With over 450 units sold and 100.000 flight hours the GRIFO family of airborne radars offers advanced performance to new and upgradable aircraft. GRIFO is a coherent, pulse Doppler multimode airborne fire control radar operating in X-band; its modular architecture, with a configurable number of Line Replaceable Units (LRU), enables the installation on many different fighter aircraft.
Scipio Multimode Radar 
Galileo Avionica completed the class of combat radar products with the lightweight SCP-01. Optimized for the AMX fighter aircraft, SCP-01 is a coherent, pulse Doppler, frequency agile airborne multimode radar.
Gabbiano 
Galileo Avionica completed the class of combat radar products with the lightweight SCP-01. Optimized for the AMX fighter aircraft, SCP-01 is a coherent, pulse Doppler, frequency agile airborne multimode radar.Gabbiano is a state-of-the-art, X-band Pulse Doppler Radar conceived to match a variety of all-weather surveillance missions, over Ground, along coasts and on sea.
In addition to the standard Air-to-Surface Search modes with TWS and Navigation Aid modes, this Radar provides the High resolution modes in the sub-meter class enabling  the User to image and classify the intercepted targets (ISAR) and to identify the fixed targets (SAR).
When employed in Ground Surveillance Missions, GMTI mode allows detection of slow moving targets on ground.
Gabbiano is a versatile Radar: suitable for Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, as well as for both fixed and rotary wing manned Platforms, it is available in two variants:
with 360° antenna, for belly-mounted installation, or with ± 90° antenna, for nose-mounted installation.
 
In its baseline configuration, with an SSPA based Transmitter with an average power of 20 W,  Gabbiano can be employed both for Homeland Security missions and for Search and Rescue (SaR) and maritime surveillance missions.
 
Key points are Low power consumption (450 W) from a single Power supply source (28 V dc) along with standard and flexible interfaces, low weight and LPI characteristics.
 
For more demanding surveillance missions, Gabbiano is available with a more powerfull TWT based Transmitter, in two configurations:
Gabbiano POWER: 200 W average power;
Gabbiano Long Eye:  560 W average power.

APS 717 - MARITTIME SURVEILLANCE RADAR 
Family of Search and Surveillance Airborne Radars equipping AB-212 ASW, SH-3D and EH-101 helicopters of Italian and Portuguese Navies.
MM/HEW-784 
X-band, digital multimode, pulse Doppler radar for Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface, 360° surveillance developed for the EH 101 helicopter for the Italian Navy. This Radar has been further upgraded with introduction of  Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR), Range profile and classification functions against both Air-to-Air and Air-to-Surface targets, with sub metric resolution.
OTS 90 - Integrated sonic system for NH-90 
OTS-90 is an advanced, integrated airborne system which maximizes the probability to early detect and classify any potential underwater threat. It is composed of two main subsystems:
- Low Frequency Long Range Dipping Sonar
- Sonobuoy Subsystem
The subsystems are integrated by means of a Common Acoustic Processor ( CAP).
OTS-90 is currently in production for the NH-90 four Nations Program
GAMAS - Family of sonobuoys acoustic system 
GAMAS is a family of Acoustic Systems developed by Galileo Avionica to meet the requirements of a wide range of ASW missions for helicopters and Maritime Patrol fixed wing aircrafts as well. The Sonobuoy Subsystem of OTS-90 Sonic System for the NFH-90 helicopter is part of GAMAS family.
