Qatar has renewed its trust in the French Rafale team (Dassault Aviation, Thales and Safran) by equipping its air force with 12 new Rafale omnirole combat aircraft fitted with cutting-edge technology. Combat aircraft must be capable of performing a wide range of different tasks, from reconnaissance to air defence and precision strikes, all during a single mission.
The Rafale is designed to meet these needs and is equipped from nose to tail with an array of sophisticated electronics systems and equipment supplied by Thales. Thales provides a number of state-of-the-art items of equipment and systems aboard the Rafale. They include the RBE2 AESA radar, the Spectra electronic warfare system, optronics, the communication navigation and identification system (CNI), the majority of the cockpit display systems, power generation systems and a logistics support component.

Qatar relies on Thales and its skills in connectivity technologies, Big Data, Artificial Intelligence and cybersecurity, all of which are central in the contracts that have been announced today.
