Description
Near Paris, a 3.5-tonne antenna rotates once per second in a final test of Thales' anti-aircraft radar, whose production has surged due to the war in Ukraine and rising global demand. The antenna is part of the new Ground Fire 300 radar, built in Limours (Essonne). It can detect threats up to 400 km away — from drones to ballistic missiles — and guide missiles to intercept them.
