To maintain airspace sovereignty, Armed Forces can rely on surface radars for an accurate, 360°, real-time recognised air picture to protect their Nations against all types of threats

Leveraging Game Changing Technologies: NOW YOU SEE IT

Thales uses decades of radar expertise to create a portofolio surface radars, offering unique benefits for those who protect us.

Seeing what you need to see

Customers can rely on Thales' surface radars to generate the most accurate, up-to-date Recognised Air Picture (RAP) in the harshest (jamming or cluttered) environments.
Reliability

Our battle-tested technology, paired with resilient, redundant designs and a global support network, ensures our systems perform reliably from the Arctic to the desert.
Scalability

Thales’ surface radars are software defined and can be updated and upgraded after initial delivery, a key feature in fast-paced operational environments where threats and counter-strategies are in constant evolution.
Built-in cyber protection

Our systems are cyber-secured by design, ensuring the survivability and resilience of Thales’ surface radars in the field.
Adaptability

Whether you are planning to deploy your surface radar in particularly harsh environments, from the Arctic to a desert or tropical zones, Thales designs radars that will support your airspace protection missions everywhere and anywhere in the world.

Thales' ground air surveillance and air defence radars deliver the advanced detection, tracking, and classification of aerial threats. Leveraging cutting-edge technologies like AESA antennas and digital signal processing, they ensure high reliability, rapid deployment, and adaptability for mission-critical operations, supporting both military and civil defence applications worldwide.

The increasing variety of air threats is challenging airspace sovereignty and air defence more than ever. Air threats, such as stealth aircraft, Ballistic Missiles (TBMs), and diverse Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), are here to stay. In complex theatres of operations or away from the frontlines, Thales' radars aim to protect the people who protect us.

EYES OF THE SKIES

Leveraging on decades of expertise, Thales surveillance and multi mission radars are recognised worldwide.

From the medium range radars, the Ground Master 200 suite with its different versions (GM200, GM200 MM/A and GM200 MM/C to the long-range radars like the SMART-L MM/F or the GM400α; Thales radars support air forces in maintaining airspace sovereignty.

Ground Fire helps armed forces to protect sovereignty, people and assets against conventional and new high-end threats, like Ballistic Missiles, Hypersonic Missiles and UAS'. Using the most modern technology, superior detection capabilities, high mobility and excellent operational availability, it supports both Air Defence & Ballistic Missile Defence missions.

The GM200 MM/C, brings enhanced situational awareness and operational superiority, fire support and weapon location capabilities. The GM200 MM/C excels at automatically detecting, tracking and classify UAS', conventional threats and air breathing threats including fast (cruise) missiles. Deployable in less than a minute, the radar is ideal for taking ground forces closer to the frontline.
