Denmark is getting a new layer of air defence - Systematic and Thales are building it together.
Today at Industry Days, Denmark's largest defence industry event, the two companies announced their partnership.
Systematic is building the planning tool - the software that lets operators plan, task and monitor ground-based air defence operations. It's built on SitaWare Headquarters and IRIS and connects with Thales' SAMP/T NG missile defence system, as well as with existing Danish defence systems.
Thales builds the missile defence system itself. Combined, Denmark's air defence gets a single, connected picture and new, relevant capabilities.
“Our collaboration with Systematic ensures that Denmark benefits from a sovereign, interoperable system that leverages the best of European innovation,” says Raphaël Desi, Integrated Airspace Protection Systems, Thales.
On the European perspective of the partnership, Nikolaj Bramsen, CEO of Systematic, adds:
"This partnership strengthens European readiness and sovereignty: developed in Europe, with armed forces fully in control of their own systems and data. It is a clear stepping stone towards greater European strategic autonomy in the critical domain of integrated air and missile defence.”
Danish Minister of Defence Jeppe Bruus, and Per Pugholm, Commander of The Danish Ministry of Defence Acquisition and Logistics Organisation, attended the announcement, along with other senior figures from across the Danish defence establishment.
