Ground Master 400, the new ThalesRaytheonSystems air defense radar on display here in Thales’ outdoor compound, is just completing its development ahead of deliveries due to start next year, but is already racking up substantial sales. Other advanced radar programs involving Thales and its joint venture with Raytheon are also coming to fruition.

Malaysia, Slovenia and France were the first customers for the Ground Master 400, but the biggest order so far came just last month from Finland and Estonia, which
are buying 12 and two, respectively, in a joint procurement. Along with a mid-life upgrade to five existing Thales Teresa 22XX long-range air defense radars, the deal is worth around $270 million.
