Air forces face various threats, including great power tensions, terrorism, cyberattacks, and asymmetric warfare. Ensuring national sovereignty and protecting critical infrastructures is a priority, while strengthening international cooperation and interoperability is key
Bringing a cognitive edge to the skies and beyong
At the heart of Defence challenges, from national sovereignty to engagements in overseas theatres, Thales is committed as a trusted partner of armed forces, to protect the airspace and enable air superiority.
Working side by side with over 70 nations, Thales develops airborne or ground based systems - including avionics and electronic components – that enable forces to make the right decisions at the right time. Our smart, efficient, and connected solutions guarantee operational superiority, the highest levels of agility and increased survivability, while respecting interoperability standards for joint and coalition operations.
Our cybersecure solutions and system architecture expertise provide the most accurate response to all types of air threats - from detection to neutralisation, and from mission preparation to post-analysis.
We are working today to shape tomorrow's future of a collaborative air combat system by continually integrating new technologies notably artificial intelligence and cloud computing, electronic components and architecture.
Efficient, smart and connected capabilities.
