Thales to reinforce Ireland’s air surveillance with Ground Master 400 Alpha and Ground Master 200 Multi Mission All-in-one radars

The Irish Department of Defence has signed an agreement with the French Direction Générale de l'Armement (DGA) for the delivery of the Thales Ground Master 400 Alpha (GM400α) and the Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission All-in-one (GM200 MM/A) radars. Building on strong European cooperation, this agreement will contribute to maintaining Irish airspace sovereignty. Thanks to Thales’ strong industrial ramp-up programme and ability to produce in short lead times, the first deliveries are scheduled for 2027.
