The GROUND Master radar systems can also detect a vast array of modern-day threats, including UAVs, missiles, mortars and rockets and at critical ranges and altitudes. As military threats have evolved and become less predictable, the accuracy and granularity of data available from radars is increasingly important to operators and decision-makers entrusted with the protection of assets, passengers, civilians and armed forces. The GROUND range of air surveillance radars detect from very low to very high altitude against any type of threat.
The best detection performance at the lowest lifecycle costs with a wealth of experience and hundreds of military systems installed worldwide, Thales and ThalesRaytheonSystems offer customers the widest portfolio of surface radars, fulfilling all operational requirements for system integrators and end-users. The result of major technological investment, the GROUND radar range shares common architecture, hardware and software modules, and common interfaces. We believe we have set the new industry benchmark in terms of performance, operational availability, compactness, modularity and upgradeability.
We also offer ground or naval short range defence solutions for defense against all air and surface threats protecting forces and sensitive sites. Its systems establish a bubble against the increasingly diversified threats and the increasing number of lower layer and surface threats, such as drones, RAM (Rocket, Artillery, Mortar) and all kinds of attacks from the ground.
The ForceShield systems and LMM effectors address the traditional threat as well as asymmetric threats. It provides an immediate and reactive response, through threat assessment and an optimised coordination of response capabilities, from detection to neutralisation
- Effectors: StarStreak and LMM ground control systems are built around integration kits that allow them to be carried on board helicopters, ships or drones. Further information on effectors
- EagleShield counter UAS family of products
- RapidFire leverages the combined expertise of Thales and Nexter to meet the very short-range defence requirements of the armed forces. The solution features a latest-generation multi-threat (air and surface), multi-environment (land and naval) gun system, with a cost of engagement commensurate with the value of the threats
