Supporting Cyber and EM Forces in the UK: Secure digital and data ecosystems connecting assets and decision-makers across all domains

From cloud enabled mission networks and sovereign data management to electromagnetic spectrum dominance and advanced cyber security, we deliver trusted solutions that underpin the UK’s defence digital transformation. With a focus on sovereignty, interoperability, and mission assurance, Thales equips the UK’s armed forces to outpace evolving threats and harness the full potential of digital and data-driven operations.

Cloud and Connectivity

Secure, agile connectivity underpins the effectiveness of modern defence operations. Thales in the UK delivers robust cloud and communications solutions that support rapid information sharing, situational awareness, and coordinated action across joint and coalition environments.

Drawing on advanced cloud technologies and a secure UK based infrastructure, Thales enables defence users to access, process and analyse large volumes of data in real time. Our solutions provide resilient connectivity for deployed forces, operational centres, and mobile units, ensuring communication integrity even in challenging or contested environments.

Thales’ expertise extends from the delivery of private, hybrid and federated cloud environments to secure gateways and tactical networks, continuously aligned with UK defence standards and security requirements. This integrated approach supports highly secure operations, real-time decision making, and improved mission outcomes as armed forces adapt to new threats and increasingly complex, data-driven battlefields.

Cyber Security

Effective cyber security is fundamental to the resilience and capability of UK defence. Thales in the UK delivers trusted solutions that protect critical infrastructure, communication networks, and mission systems from an ever-changing landscape of cyber threats.

Leveraging proven expertise in both civilian and military contexts, Thales designs and implements secure architectures, accredited encryption, and real-time threat detection to defend against adversarial attacks. Our solutions ensure the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of vital defence data, whether deployed in the field or within fixed facilities.

Close collaboration with UK defence partners enables tailored, proactive support that strengthens national assurance and operational continuity. Innovations in security monitoring, incident response, and cyber training help prepare armed forces to anticipate, identify, and respond to sophisticated threats.

By integrating advanced security into every layer of defence operations, Thales provides the protection required for mission assurance in a digital battlespace.

Digital & Data

Securing information advantage is at the heart of modern defence operations. Thales in the UK empowers armed forces and defence organisations to harness, process and protect data across all domains—delivering operational superiority while maintaining the highest standards of security and governance.

Our solutions enable defence users to classify, protect and manage sensitive information wherever it resides, being on-premises, at the edge or in the cloud, ensuring compliance with evolving UK defence and regulatory requirements. With advanced monitoring, granular access controls and real-time intelligence, Thales ensures full visibility into data usage, risks and threats, even in complex military environments.

By safeguarding data at rest, in motion and in use, Thales supports mission assurance, operational agility, and trusted collaboration, even in joint or coalition settings. Our integrated digital platforms accelerate secure digital transformation for defence, reducing complexity and costs while delivering true information advantage on and off the battlefield.
