Thales and Weibel Scientific have signed a cooperation agreement to develop and strengthen the bonds within European defence industry, creating shared international export opportunities. According to a press release from Weibel, this involves integrating Weibel’s short-range ground mission radars into the Thales radar portfolio to address Ground Based Air Defence (GBAD) or C-UAV missions. The agreement was signed at the Danish Embassy in Paris during the Danish Industrial days in the presence of the French Minister of Armed Forces, Florence Parly, and Danish Minister of Defence Trine Bramsen.  
The agreement is expected to leverage Thales’ international radar position. In particular, Thales will offer a common solution for the Danish Army’s Ground Based Air Defence incorporating the Weibel XENTA-M5 radar integrated with the Thales GBAD solution.
