Lunch lecture Thales

Maritime safety

With the increase in global tensions, also the maritime safety is at risk. Piracy, smuggling, illegal immigration, but also disputed maritime boundaries and ballistic missiles threaten the normal daily operations in the maritime domain. 

Thales provides navies around the world with adequate means to respond to these various threats; not only by developing world leading radar systems, but also by providing Mission System Integration for new naval ships. From the initial capability definition of the customer operational needs to the final sea trials on board of a ship, everywhere engineers are involved to develop technical solutions. Challenges with new requirements, sophisticated technologies and complex systems, but in the end everything needs to be operational with the right performance within time and budget. What here the importance is of IT Systems and tactical networks for navies, and what exactly the role of Thales is therein, will be shown on the basis of recent projects.
