Operational superiority is achieved through innovative collaboration services enabled by Thales' system architectures, cybersecure connectivity, smarter sensors and agile decision aids

Our smart collaborative air combat strenghts

  1. Secured connectivity

    We ensure secure and resilient end to end connectivity among all assets, facilitating effective collaboration and data sharing across all levels of command, across the air, naval, land and space domains.

  2. Robust cybersecurity

    Thales is able to protect every level of data sensitivity and secure all critical transactions by smartly combining the use of leading edge technologies and smart functional approaches.

  3. AI powered systems

    With CortAIx we integrate the power of artificial intelligence into the heart of our sensors and decision agents introducing cognitive superiority despite extremely demanding environmental and operational constraints.

  4. Collaborative sensors

    Our sensors are natively designed to collaborate with each other, either within a given platform or across several heterogeneous platforms to provide boosted performances in terms of detection, tracking and identification.

  5. System of systems

    Our knowledge and experience in Model Based System Engineering allow us to design solutions where sensors, effectors and decision agents can seamlessly exchange data and synchronise their actions across several platforms, some manned and others unmanned.

  6. Interoperability

    Our solutions guarantee seamless integration between various weapon systems and military units, enabling cohesive and integrated operations between allied forces.

Smart collaborative air combat

Thales has effectively integrated the need to transform air combat tools into a more efficient, resilient, and agile global system. 

Thales' solution for maintaining operational superiority, better controlling the airspace, and enhancing the survivability of the global system lies in the creation of new collaborative operational services and the associated discreet and resilient connectivity.
