Our comprehensive EW suites onboard combat and mission aircraft enable long-range detection, identification, localisation, jamming and decoy of enemy emissions, to provide a strategic and tactical advantage.

Our expertise in airborne electronic warfare

  1. Intelligence

    With advanced EW solutions, our SIGINT suite combining COMINT & ELINT can strengthen a nation's defence capabilities and sovereignty.

  2. Electronic Support

    For surveillance purpose, data gathering missions are time-sensitive. Our EW sensors on-board are therefore able to analyse the whole electromagnetic spectrum and are very accurate, in order to pick up all the signals.

  3. Self-protection systems

    To efficiently protect platforms against fast evolving and numerous threats, our solutions detect signals as early as possible, allowing effective activation of countermeasures.

  4. Electronic Attack

    Thales develops efficient jamming systems to disrupt enemy communications and radar operations, ensuring the task forces mission success.

From intelligence to self-protection

With the return of high-intensity warfare, EW technology is crucial in order for Air Forces to face decisive moments with confidence. 

From detection, deception, all the way to protection, our systems enable Forces to maintain operational superiority by discretely detectecting and understanding their adverseries’ positions and movements early on, at a long range.

Ensuring informational dominance and aircraft protection in complex threat environments.

Our products and systems enable the Forces to increase their situational awareness and successfully accomplish their missions despite a wide scope of threats in the electromagnetic spectrum.
