Thales is pleased to announce the signing of a contract with NSPA, for the acquisition of a ForceShield system by the Portuguese Army.

The new solution enables naval forces to control their electromagnetic footprint at sea and adapt communications to the operational tempo of the mission by prioritising data rate, discretion, resilience or low latency.

CoastShield is a modular and scalable advanced coastal surveillance system, designed to monitor and detect coastal activities in real-time.

The companies announced a partnership to integrate Thales’ sovereign sensor technology into the Australian-made C2 Robotics Speartooth Large Uncrewed Underwater Vehicle (LUUV).

Autonomous functionality optimised by Artificial Intelligence (AI) and intelligent agents reduces the cognitive load on operators yet ensures that they remain in control at all times, particularly during critical mission phases.

The delivery confirms Thales's ability to provide the high-volume production capacity needed to meet the requirements of the French forces.

The Sophie Ultima has a high performance infrared channel with a continuous optical zoom and wide 20° field of view that enables operators to maintain visual contact with targets during detection, recognition, & identification phases.

Thanks to the sponsorship of the Portuguese, British and French Navies, Thales leveraged its expertise in unmanned systems and digital technologies to unleash the potential offered by both air and surface drones.

The SAMP/T NG system, natively based on the capability to manage the munitions of the Aster family (A30 B1 and A30 B1NT), will be able to integrate and coordinate through SHORAD and V-SHORAD assets.
