Romania Selects France's Thales to Supply Deployable Radar Systems
Published
Thales, the French company, announced on Tuesday that Romania's Ministry of National Defence has selected it to provide deployable primary and secondary radar systems. These systems are intended for use by the Romanian Armed Forces in air surveillance missions.
The primary radar works by transmitting electromagnetic waves, then receiving the waves that bounce back from aircraft and other objects, determining their position and movement. The secondary radar, on the other hand, relies on signals sent by a device on board the aircraft, which helps identify the target more precisely.
Deployable systems are distinguished by the fact that they can be transported and installed quickly in different locations. This is why armies that want flexibility in operations and surveillance need them, especially when fixed infrastructure is unavailable. The company did not disclose the value of the contract or the delivery date in its announcement.
This news shows that Eastern European countries continue to develop their defence capabilities, and that European companies are winning significant contracts in this field. Although the news is not directly related to the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, it reflects general trends in the global defence industry.
