Thales' traveling wave tubes (TWT) and amplifiers deliver unmatched performance and reliability for missile seekers, airborne, land & naval radars, broadband datalinks and electronic countermeasures empowering armed forces to stay ahead of evolving threats.

Strengths

Broad Frequency Range

Thales designs and manufactures Traveling Wave Tubes (TWTs) and amplifiers that cover a broad spectrum of frequencies from L to Ka bands to meet all defence requirements in radar, datalinks, ECM and missile seekers.
Reliability

Thales amplification solutions are designed to function reliably in extreme conditions, including vibration, shock, altitude, electromagnetic interference, saline environments, and corrosive environments for long-term operational availability.
Compact Design

Thales offers comprehensive, compact, and highly efficient solutions designed to meet the stringent requirements of existing or new defense systems, where volume, weight and efficiency are critical constraints.

TWTs and amplifiers designed by Thales ensure that armed forces can rely on the operational availability and high performance of their defence systems. These amplification solutions are critical to enhancing the performance of next-generation systems and maintaining the operating condition of existing systems. Whether ECM, radar, missile seekers, or datalinks, Thales is trusted by defence forces worldwide to deliver these critical solutions.
