Threat Landscape
Hypersonic threats, with extreme speed and manoeuvrability, represent a shift in warfare, making traditional detection and interception less effective.
Layered Defence Architecture
Thales supports a layered defence, integrating space, air, and ground-based systems for seamless detection, tracking, and engagement.
Interceptor Capabilities
Modern interceptors must balance range, accuracy, and speed to neutralise hypersonic threats in all flight phases, aided by intelligent fire control.
Collaborative Engagement
Multi-domain coordination enables early detection and optimal shooter selection, improving interception across extended and terminal phases.
Network Quality of Service
Low-latency, resilient communications with AI-driven optimisers enable real-time responses and efficient kill chain execution.
Operator Skills
Thales offers synthetic training environments to prepare operators for high-speed threats, supporting fast, coordinated decision-making.
