Joint systems

Military operations are increasingly planned and conducted under joint command, combining the action of all three forces (land, air, naval), including special-forces and even civil security forces. This is impacting the design and deployment of communication, command and intelligence chains, from strategic level in the home country through to the theatre of operations.

In this context, Thales provides air, land and naval forces, joint structures, special-forces and security services with the capabilities they need to achieve information superiority through high-level expertise spanning the entire intelligence and command chains, as well as secure end-to-end communication systems.
