Anticipating failure, fleet management and decision support are everyday issues for customer service teams at Thales.

SmartFleet is Thales’ predictive maintenance solution for airborne optronics.

Its advanced algorithms calculate the estimated remaining potential of sub-assemblies before failure, enabling the Forces to identify the best equipment to use for the mission.

They also help anticipate maintenance actions to regenerate equipment potential at the Châtellerault Airborne Optronics Support Center of Excellence.

Augmented services for augmented operational availability

In high-intensity operations, system failures are not an option. Thales is revolutionising maintenance and force readiness with augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), and predictive maintenance.
