THALES+
The Belgian Ministry of Defence has selected Thales to modernise its Hercules C-130 transports. As prime contractor, Thales is supplying the self protection suite. This advanced, entirely user-configurable system also features a new onboard function enabling the crew to train for electronic warfare missions. It is a key element of the survivability of a modern aircraft in high-risk theatres of operations and fully meets the requirements of armed forces.
