Thales enhances maritime border surveillance offer

Issue No. 4 | February 16-29, 2012

Thales has reinforced its coastal and maritime border surveillance offer thanks to the FULMAR maritime surveillance and identification UAV system from the Spanish firm Aerovisión.

This new solution, with its comprehensive integration of sensors, C2 (command & control) system and secure communication networks, reinforces the operational efficiency of the coastguard and customs services.

With the aim to meet new challenges, Thales has bolstered its maritime surveillance systems offer with the addition of innovative surveillance and identification capacities, through the integration of the FULMAR long lasting mediumrange UAV, a 100 per cent European platform with a unique capability of landing at sea. Jointly developed in Spain by the teams of Thales and Aerovisión, the Thales solution considerably improves the operational capacities of the coastguards by enabling rapid and easy detection of new threats.
