Weapon Systems for Air Forces

A large range of solutions for efficient protection

  • Weapon systems
  • Defence
  • Air

Facing stealthier and faster threats, as well as more hybrid attacks, protection relies on a large range of solutions for adaptive actions.

Our strengths

  1. Combat proven

    In service in different countries and committed on end-to-end efficiency.

  2. Innovation

    To adapt effectors to emerging threats and evolving environments.

  3. Delivery

    Adapted production capabilities.

  4. Tailored solutions

    Adapted to operational context and assets.

  5. Best of missile electronics

    Thales' missile electronics (guidance, resilient navigation, uplink communication, etc.) make the effectors discreet, resistant to counter-measures, and effective in all weather conditions.

  6. Precision & efficiency

    The extreme precision of guided weapons also helps to avoid collateral damage and limits the number of munitions used for each threat (high Probability of Kill- PK, first shoot, first kill), allowing long lasting combat, all whilst optimising stock levels.

The effectiveness of protection against aerial threats relies on multi-layered air defence systems integrated with the global air combat systems.
