Overview
That is why individual nations and international military alliances are preparing to expand their capabilities, particularly in anti-missile defence. Thales is the only company in Europe capable of providing armed forces with a full range of solutions from early warning to threat neutralisation, at all level from very short-range systems to extended air defence.
- Very short-range: the Lightweight Multi-role Missile (LMM) is a low cost, lightweight, precision strike, missile, which has been designed to be fired from tactical platforms including fixed or rotary winged UAVs and surface platforms. The system is designed to provide a rapid reaction to a wide range of the surface threats from wheeled or tracked vehicles, towed artillery or static installations; naval threats from small ships and fast inshore attack craft and an air threat from light aircraft.
- Medium-range: Selected in 2003 by France and Italy for the protection of expeditionary forces from air-breathing missile threats and ballistic missiles, the SAMP/T system was declared operational in 2008. As a member of Eurosam in partnership with MBDA, Thales developed the fire control unit of the SAMP/T system and contributes to Aster electronics (seeker, proximity fuze). The SAMP/T system is now being integrated into the NATO first Active Layer Theatre Ballistic Missile Defence (ALTBMD) capability.
- Missile electronics: Thales is Europe's leading supplier of electronic subsystems for missiles and precision-guided munitions, and provides equipment and services to customers throughout the world. The company's core competencies cover design, development and production of high-performance seekers and proximity fuzes.
- Rocket Systems : Thales in Europe offers to its customers complete system solutions for state of the art air-to-ground and ground to ground rocket systems
Thales solutions address the needs of more than 30 worldwide customers.
2.75'' ROCKET SYSTEEMS
2’’75 rocket systems, an international standard rocket systems for all armed Forces
- We offer international standard rocket systems in service in more than 30 NATO and other countries (2.75’’ calibre also called 70 mm)
- Operational on more than 500 aircraft and helicopters, this rocket system is equipped with maintainable lightweight composite launchers with removable detents
- This rocket system provides full range of rocket types offering extended range and terminal efficiency.
- Associated large portfolio of ammunition covers various rocket motors and warhead types including laser guided rocket .
Induction rocket systems
Induction Rocket Systems (IRS), a new standard with new operational benefits.
- The second generation induction rocket systems delivers deep protection and attack solution for all platform types and to the highest domestic standard .
- They offering unprecedented levels of accuracy and safety (no Foreign Object Damages, Hero/Hirf, no misfire, no hangfire) and they are impossible to repurpose as IEDs .
- Loading is easy with no tools , by just one operator and maintenance is minimal
- The solution includes the family of rocket launchers (Ranging from 2 to 22 tubes) and the induction rockets, including an ‘in-flight’ programmable laser guided rockets.
- The Thales mortars are masterpieces of modern industrial technology. Since the times of Edgar Brandt, the company has built thousands of mortars of different calibres and delivered millions of mortar shells to many different armed forces.
- Thales rifled and smooth-tube mortar systems offer unrivalled build quality.
- They have a robust mortar solution to support end users anytime, anywhere.
- The weapons were retrofit and design to achieve the latest technologies standards to maximize efficiency in the mission.
Rifled recoiled Mounted Mortar system - 2R2M
- Mounted on various types of armoured carriers, the 120 mm 2R2M is fully protect while on the move against enemy counter battery.
- The 2R2M is ready to scoot and shoot on short time.
- Firing 10 rounds within one minute, with improved accuracy compared to the Recoil towed version, and can then start moving and close the top doors at the same time
- The 120 mm 2R2M weapon system is suitable for various types of wheeled or tracked armoured vehicles.
- Field proven in different theatre of Operation – five countries have already chosen the 120 mm 2R2M and more 150 systems used in operations.
120 Recoil Mortar Towed
- The 120 mm RT entered service with French artillery units in the mid-1990s and has been considered an artillery weapon system since that time.
- Its robustness, reliability and light logistical footprint have made the 120 mm RT the leading artillery fire support system deployed on expeditionary operations.
- With a maximum range of 8-13 km, tactical units can maneuver safely, relying on an effective indirect fire support capability that can easily be integrated into a complete artillery chain of command.
- The 120 RT is in service in 25 countries, and more 1000 units used by the forces.
81 mm

- The Mo 81 mm LLR has been committed many times in military campaigns overseas.
- It is also a weapon 'Combat Proven' in particularly difficult conditions especially in overseas Theatre of Operations and on which Infantrymen can rely every time and under every climate.
- Very easy to use, the Mo 81 mm LLR is also very precise and very efficient...
Capability
- The F90 is one of the lightest assault rifles on the market at 3.25 kg, enabling fast reaction times and rapid target acquisition, a clear advantage in close quarters combat. NATO standard rails and NATO ammunition interoperability provide adaptability for a wide range of mission profiles.
- Packing a punch, the F90 includes an integrated side loading 40 mm grenade launcher that can be attached in just a few seconds by the soldier – a potentially decisive capability providing flexibility on operations. The grenade launcher itself is equipped with a lightweight robust quadrant sight that ensures rapid target acquisition, can be used at night, and is compatible with night vision goggles.
