    Thales dévoile un radar de surveillance aérienne aux capacités de traitement cinq fois plus élevées

    Thales a dévoilé un nouveau radar aux performances significativement accrues par rapport à celles affichées par ses précédents modèles de la gamme GM400. Le radar Ground Master 400 Alpha dispose d'une puissance de traitement cinq fois plus élevée et d'algorithmes d'intelligence artificielles « avancés ». Radar 3D à longue portée, le GM400 Alpha pourra constituer pour les forces armées un « outil précieux pour obtenir un avantage tactique, en détectant tous les types de menaces de manière précoce, offrant ainsi de précieuses minutes pour la prise de décision et l'action », assure l'industriel. Le fonctionnement de ce GM400 Alpha repose sur la technologie numérique à faisceaux superposés, ce qui lui permet de détecter des cibles « allant des jets et missiles rapides aux hélicoptères et drones en vol stationnaire ». Surtout, Thales insiste sur sa capacité à détecter et à poursuive la menace des « drones tactiques volant près du sol », tout en faisant de même, simultanément, pour les chasseurs-bombardiers évoluant à plus haute altitude.
