At the largest radar mill in Europe

In his past Thales produced 4400 radars of which about 1100 presently service in France and abroad customers and another 100 is rented by the company. According to Thales, this scale could be obtained through respective factors. The first is the attitude towards export markets and the successful ones there. As many as 80 percent of radar production is carried out abroad. The second is to plan radio-location units with a view to their mobility and comparative simplicity of service. Radiolocators are placed on universal containers and frequently (depending on the type) can be carried by military trucks without the request for further integration. After folding, they can be easy moved by air in medium-sized cargo hold transport aircraft. Upon arrival, the radars can be rapidly activated and incorporated into the defence system. In the case of GroundMaster household radars, this time is 13 minutes.
