Trusted Intelligence for Naval Superiority
Our critical capabilities
Addressing today's naval challenges
-
Collaborative Combat
Faced with fast, stealthy, and numerous threats, it is crucial to develop a "system-of-systems" approach for close collaboration between manned and unmanned assets. High-performance, integrated, and secure connectivity is essential to efficiently operate the various assets.
-
Drone warfare
Operating in the air, at sea, and underwater, Thales is present across the entire drone value chain, from sensors and connectivity to mission management. With AI, we speed up decision-making and automate operations.
-
Electronic Warfare
Mastering the electronic environment is key in naval operations including Air and Missile Defence. Thales offers a fully integrated and comprehensive EW suite enabling Navies to operate in the most complex electromagnetic environments.
-
Force Readiness
For any Navies, crew and equipment availability is a fundamental. To be ready and prepared requires for all personnel, to be trained, skills retained and equipment available. With worldwide location, Thales also offers customized support services to meet Navies expectations.
-
Connectivity
Thales offers integrated and automated communications solutions, to reliable and securely increase the tempo of operations in hostile electro magnetic environment. Data links enable real-time information sharing between units, ensuring interoperability and enhancing situational awareness.
