Thales announced today that it has been awarded contract for its new TopShield-400 Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna system (CRPA) for the future French Tanker.
Thales will provide Airbus Defense & Space with its new GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) Controlled Reception Pattern Antenna system TopShield-400 to equip the 12 MRTTs (multi-role transport tanker) ordered by the French Procurement Agency (DGA).
TopShield-400 is a multi-application anti-jamming solution for aircrafts, including helicopters that can be operated with all GNSS receivers. Its miniature antenna arrays and low volume electronics ensure easy integration onto all platforms while providing the highest level of immunity to jamming.
