The first SMART-L MM/N is scheduled for delivery in 2026. The replacement of the original S1850 long-range radar with the SMART-L MM/N provides a capabilities upgrade enabling the ships, in operation since 2007, to meet the latest threats. 14 Sep 2023 2743188 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide/defence/press_release/thales-demonstrates-mine-neutralisation-capability-remotely During sea trials conducted remotely from the command centre in Brest, France, Thales has successfully demonstrated the performance of the final component of its innovative mine countermeasures system – the remotely operated underwater vehicle – and its ability to neutralise sea mines. The MMCM programme relies on the very latest developments in autonomous technologies, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity and uncrewed systems to handle challenging operational scenarios as defined by the French Navy and the Royal Navy. The first two prototype MMCM systems were delivered incrementally following at-sea qualification in conditions up to and including sea state 41. Since the end of 2021, the Navies have been conducting operational evaluations, and will take delivery of the six series-produced systems in 2024 and 2025. 13 Sep 2023 2743180 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/countries-americas/canada/press_release/thales-selected-canada-provide-service-support-royal Thales today announces that the Government of Canada – as set out by Canadian Prime Minister, The Right Honourable Justin Trudeau during the NATO Summit in Latvia – has awarded to Thales Canada and Thales Australia in joint venture an ISS contract for MWAV. 07 Sep 2023 2743162 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide/defence/press_release/thales-and-naval-group-provide-through-life-support-frances-multi The FREMM through-life support contract, which came into effect in January 2023, is one of the largest support contracts awarded to Thales by Naval Group since the creation of the French Navy's Fleet Support Service (SSF). It will guarantee the at-sea availability of the Navy's eight multi-mission frigates based in Brest and Toulon. Thales will draw on its industrial resources and product expertise to support the warships, ensure the day-to-day availability of their on-board systems and sustain their operational capabilities over the long term. 31 Aug 2023 2743137 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide/defence/press_release/new-contract-thales-reinforce-airspace-surveillance-capabilities Within this new contract, Thales is to provide next generation primary and secondary approach radars, STAR NG and RSM NG to renew the fleet of approach radars for French air and naval bases from 2025, as part of the Detection 22 program within the phase 5 of the DGA project SCCOA. 04 Apr 2023 2742471 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide-defence/naval-forces/magazine/hows-your-board-digital-mission-resilience Battle damage repair is all about maintaining power to command. It’s about fixing only that which takes priority to make the mission a success. Say your frigate is taking heavy damage. The key to success may be keeping control over your fire control systems. 29 Sep 2022 2741220 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/countries-europe/denmark/press_release/thales-and-cubedin-sign-memorandum-understanding-develop-use • CUBEDIN A/S, a joint venture between Odense Maritime Technology (OMT) and Systematic, has developed the CUBEDIN concept that enables interchangeable, adaptable ships to be easily reconfigured to suit any mission. CUBEDIN combines a physical interface with a software solution that allows navies to set up ship platforms using Cubes – or modules from SH Defence. The CUBEDIN software also provides a communication gateway between modules, such as sensors, and the vessel’s internal systems • Thales will work with OMT to develop a new approach in the designing of modular Combat platforms, providing its Anti-Submarine Warfare and Mine Warfare technologies to these new vessels. • This cooperation between Thales and CUBEDIN A/S demonstrates Thales’ ambition and commitment to partner with local companies to the benefit of both local and international defence industry and customers 19 Oct 2022 2741384 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide/defence/press_release/euronaval-2022-nexter-and-thales-unveil-new-design-rapidfire-turret A new close-in protection system 19 Oct 2022 2741382 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide-defence-naval-forces/above-water-warfare/news/speed-light-irst-high-intensity-combat The Combat Information Centre (CIC) is alight with warning signs: multiple missiles have been launched from afar, seemingly coming at the carrier group at various sonic speed, their precise path and direction unknown. Yet while the situation in the CIC is tense the Commander appears to remain calm. When the carrier group deployed for its mission, he knew a saturating attack with missiles flying at super and hypersonic speeds was a possibility – the latest trends in technological development and armament were all pointing in such direction. For this reason his frigate has been equipped with state-of-the-art radar and Infrared Search and Track (IRST) systems. Together with other sensors, those systems are giving crew and Commander the information and reaction time they need to ensure ship and carrier group survivability. 18 Oct 2022 2741375 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png /en/worldwide/group/magazine/working-thales-means-choosing-career-makes-difference-peoples-daily-lives In 2022, Thales is stepping up its recruitment policy, with plans to hire 11,000 new people worldwide. 29 Sep 2022 2741222 /sites/default/files/database/assets/images/2023-09/Thales%20SMART-L%20Multi-Mission%20radar%20selected%20by%20Eurosam%20-%20Thumbnail_0.png
