Thales unveils Rafale's radar roadmap

摘要

Thales has revealed first details of its new technology roadmap for the Dassault Rafale's radar and electronic warfare systems, which it believes could create opportunities to equip several other aircraft types over the next 20 years.rnThe new concept allows for the insertion of future technologies, such as gallium nitride transmit/ receive modules, by using a so-called "cloud" architecture, says Pierre-Yves Chaltiel, head of electronic combat systems for Thales Airborne Systems.
