Thales, a titan in the global defense and aerospace industry, is gearing up to exhibit its latest technological advancements at Aero India 2025, showcasing solutions tailored to meet the complex operational demands of the Indian armed forces. The company’s display will span across air, land, naval, space, cyber, and digital sectors, highlighting their commitment to innovation and excellence.
At the core of Thales’ presentation will be the RBE2 AESA (Active Electronically Scanned Array) radar, renowned for providing unmatched situational awareness to fighter pilots. This radar system’s ability to track multiple targets simultaneously will be a key attraction, demonstrating how it can enhance the Indian Air Force’s combat effectiveness.
Complementing this, Thales will introduce the SPECTRA electronic warfare suite, which not only offers protection against threats but also aids in offensive operations through advanced electronic countermeasures. The suite will be showcased alongside Thales’ optronic systems, pivotal for reconnaissance and precision targeting, ensuring that the IAF can maintain superiority in contested airspaces.
On the ground and in the air, Thales will unveil its latest in air defence technology. The Lightweight Multi-role Missile (LMM) and the STARStreak missile system will be on display, showcasing their precision and versatility against various aerial threats. The ForceShield air defence system, designed for quick deployment and high effectiveness, will also be a focal point, illustrating how Thales can fortify India’s skies.
For surveillance, Thales will demonstrate the capabilities of the GM 200 MM/A radar, which offers long-range detection, and the SkyView command and control system, which integrates various sensor data into a cohesive operational picture, crucial for modern warfare.
Making its debut in India, the FlytX suite for helicopters will highlight how Thales is pushing the boundaries in helicopter avionics. This suite promises to transform cockpit management, offering pilots unprecedented control and visibility. Navigation systems like TopAxyz, TopShield, and TopStar M will also be showcased, emphasizing safety, accuracy, and operational flexibility in diverse environments.
Thales will not shy away from demonstrating its prowess in digitizing the battlefield. The SYNAPS-A, a software-defined radio, will be presented to show how it can revolutionize communications by providing secure, high-bandwidth links for data exchange. The Modem 21 Air Compact and NextW@ve TRA 6030 radio will further underline Thales’ focus on enhancing connectivity and interoperability, crucial for modern, network-centric warfare.
Understanding that technology is only as good as the support it receives, Thales will also focus on logistics solutions that ensure the sustainability and readiness of military assets. This includes maintenance, upgrade, and training programs tailored to keep the Indian forces at the cutting edge of operational capability.
