Thales looks to digitise Thai APCs
Thales and its Thai partner Datagate have signed a Memorandum of Agreement (MoA) with the Thai Defence Technology Institute (DTI) to enhance digital communications for military vehicles, Thales announced on 12 September.
With this new agreement, the first common project for all parties will be dedicated to the upgrade of the Royal Thai Army's fleet of armoured personal carriers (APCs).
The team will aim to upgrade the APCs with a computerised, command, control, communications and combat information (C5I) operational solution, integrating both VHF and HF combat net radios, a battle management system for tactical C2 and vehicle electronics integration.
Thales will progressively transfer knowledge and technology to DTI, giving Thai industry the ability to design, integrate and validate C5I systems on any local platform.
The MoA follows a memorandum of understanding signed in September 2017 under which Thales and DTI carried out research and development related to air defence and digital communications systems.
