Defence

Addressing a growing range of ever-changing threats, Thales supports nations and their armed forces to make the right decisions at the right time through advanced technologies, solutions and services – in the land, sea, and air domains. From cybersecurity to AI, we are constantly innovating to enable armed forces to achieve operational superiority.

As a trusted partner of the Romanian armed forces, Thales has supplied various military systems, from tactical radios to encrypted military telecommunications solutions and
underwater technologies embedded into naval, land and air platforms. Thales is the supplier of airborne anti-submarine warfare systems to the Romanian Navy, which are fitted onboard the Puma Helicopters operated onboard the Type 22 Frigates, providing a significant capability multiplier for the NATO presence in the Black Sea.

Over 150 engineers from the Romanian Engineering Competence Centre contribute to several defence programs by developing software for above water systems and under water systems for Naval Forces across the world, developing software for a Command & Control system used to ensuring airspace sovereignty, and contributing to Training & Simulation global projects alongside colleagues from France, Switzerland and UK. 

Cyber & Digital

In a world where the number of digital connections and cyberattacks are constantly growing, Thales provides products and services which create a circle of trust between people and the digital services they rely on. 

In the Romanian civil identity sector, Thales delivers all the raw materials for the Romanian passport production along with support and maintenance services, including blanks production, enrolment and passport personalization. Thales also supplies optical document readers for border control and finished smartcards for Romanian Digital Tachograph use.
The Regional Delivery Centre located in Bucharest deploys services and maintains Secure Document Issuing Systems, Automated Fingerprint Information Systems as well as eGates projects, and provides strong knowledge for Fly to Gate and Border Management System through a delivery team of 30 engineers.

Thales is a leading supplier of Hardware Security Modules to protect data transfers in the Romanian Government and Critical Infrastructure.  In the Romanian banking sector, Thales provides a wide range of secure digital banking, cards and digital payment solutions, while in the telecommunication area, Thales works with mobile network operators supplying them with SIM cards, MIM cards and services for eSIM. Moreover, over 90% of the tokens used in electronic signatures in Romania are provided by Thales.

 

Space

Thales Alenia Space offers institutions, governments, companies and operators a wide range of space solutions – satellites, ground segments, end-to-end-systems – for telecommunications, satellite navigation, earth observation, science and space exploration.

More than 80 engineers from the Romanian Engineering Competence Centre dedicate their knowledge and skills to projects for Thales Alenia Space. Their work covers ground and on-board (embedded) systems for projects such as Space Inspire™ solution - a software-defined, ultra-flexible and fully reprogrammable in orbit satellite, Meteosat 3rd generation - a new generation of meteorological satellites, Lunar Gateway - a cislunar space station that will orbit around the Moon. The team is also developing components of the SpaceOps product line used for the configuration and monitoring of telecom geostationary satellites, including the Eutelsat KVHTS satellite, host to the most powerful processor ever put into orbit.
