Integrated Air and Missile Defence
Protecting the skies at all airspace levels
Skydefender detects everything from slow-moving. drones to hypersonic missiles, attacks are becoming more complex, overwhelming, and unpredictable, requiring a defence system that can adapt, detect, and defeat every threat.
OUR STRENGTHS
-
All in one solution
Air Defence protection against threats at all levels of airspace: C-UAS, very short-range, medium and long-range Air Defence, early warning, managed globally by a unique C2 system.
-
Great compatibility
Each solution can be specifically tailored to each user’s operational needs and can integrate nations or NATO existing platforms
-
Combat-proven system
The system has proven its effectiveness and reliability in operations
-
Embedded AI
Artificial Intelligence provides Forces with augmented capacities, faster decision making with a reduction of the OODA loop
-
End-to-end modular approach
From early detection, identification, to neutralisation, committed on end-to-end performance
Flexible and future-proof
SkyDefender integrates sensors and effectors to rapidly detect and neutralise threats. Its command and control (C2) capabilities are available in fixed, deployable, and mobile configurations across air, sea, land, cyber, and space. Compatible with a country's existing systems and supported by Thales partnerships, it strengthens strategic sovereignty.

SkyDefender’s core principle is to enable defence over four successive ranges, including Counter unmanned aerial systems (C-UAS) , very short range (ForceShield), medium to long range (SAMP/T NG), and Early Warning systems covering long range radars and satellite surveillance.
All components from very short range to early warning
“Thales is proud to contribute to the sovereignty of our nations with SkyDefender, the integral air and missile defence solution based on our latest advanced technologies, from counter-drone protection to early warning capacities. With SkyDefender Thales provides a combat-proven system, easy-to-integrate and available today, confirming our position as a long-term trusted partner for the armed forces.”
Hervé Dammann, Executive Vice-President, Land and Air Systems, Thales.
