INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
At the Paris Air Show (16-22 June 2025), Thales presented a new electronic warfare solution to satisfy the requirement for more closely
integrated electro-magnetic dominance operations across all military units.Traditionally just conducted by extremely specialised systems,
electromagnetic supremacy operations are now needed by all tactical developments as a pre-requisite for battleground superiority.With the
growing intensity of electronic warfare operations, this brand-new Thales service is designed to offer all deployed forces, consisting of
non-specialised units, with an initial, autonomous detection, place and analysis capability.The development of this innovative solution
follows a proof-of-concept (PoC) granted to Thales by Frances Defence Innovation Agency (AID) after a European competitive procurement
Throughout the PoC phase, numerous users effectively evaluated the option in a range of different use cases.The existing geopolitical
context and the development of new risks have underscored the broadening function of electronic warfare in the theatre of operations and
demonstrated a growing requirement for all combat units to have direct access to these important abilities
Today we are able to offer a distinct brand-new service that is discreet and easy to use by non-specialised units to enable deployed forces
to get and keep info superiority in the field
The new solution shows Thaless capacity for innovation and the ability of our advancement groups to react extremely rapidly to brand-new
operational requirements, saidChristophe Groshenry, Vice President, Radio Communications Products, Thales.Weighing less than 5 kg and with a
power requirement of under 40 W, the new payload is optimised for deployment by light drones
It can be set up on free-flying or autonomous drones, or on connected drones powered and connected to the ground by a cable, to identify
radio sources 10s of kilometres away without any active emissions, which is a major advantage in objected to environments.Source: Thales
