Thales in the UK showcased its integration capabilities at this year’s Army Warfighting Experiment (AWE), presenting a range of solutions designed to enhance situational awareness, communication, and electronic warfare capabilities in urban environments.
At the core of Thales' demonstration was the integration of ground-based systems with airborne intelligence platforms. Key technologies included the Storm 2 lightweight personal CEMA system, SquadNet soldier radios, the HFXL wideband radio, and the prototype ISTAR Node. These technologies were used in scenarios to detect, target, and disseminate intelligence from hostile networks, facilitated by advanced algorithms to streamline the process for soldiers and commanders.
During AWE, Storm 2 was tested in operational conditions for the first time, enabling soldiers to identify and target data signals in urban settings. The system worked in conjunction with SquadNet radios and the ISTAR Node, which processed data from aerial and ground-based units, providing rapid intelligence to both frontline personnel and command centers.
The HFXL radio demonstrated its ability to provide secure, long-range communication without requiring infrastructure, maintaining operational control in denied environments. The ISTAR Node further showcased its capability to integrate aerial intelligence from uncrewed systems and deliver it to ground forces, enhancing the coordination of offensive and defensive operations.
Thales’ technologies also facilitated interoperability with Allied forces. A French sighting system and Storm 2 were used to direct unmanned systems, with the resulting intelligence shared across the network, supporting coordinated responses to threats.
By integrating these advanced systems, Thales demonstrated how real-time data sharing and streamlined tactical decision-making can enhance operational flexibility and improve battlefield outcomes. Thales continues to incorporate feedback from exercises like AWE to refine and accelerate the deployment of its technologies, ensuring they meet the evolving needs of British and Allied forces.
