Thales’s unparalleled experience with the integration of safety and security systems puts the Group in a unique position to offer the technology and expertise necessary to resolve the security challenges of tomorrow.
Significant ongoing investment in research and development keep Thales solutions ahead of the competition. Whether you're monitoring trains, airports, energy or government infrastructures, as well as safeguarding the physical security of people or protecting data and communications, Thales technology and expertise are up to the task.

Advanced Control & Supervision
Thales solutions maximise safety and security through Command, Control & Supervision systems such as SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition), DCS (Distributed Control Systems) and SSOC (Safety & Security Operations Centre).
The Group's SSOC is a command and decision-support system, designed to cover the full range of security operations for police, fire and emergency medical teams-from localised incidents to major crises on a regional or national scale. Furthermore, Thales has extensive SCADA experience spanning oil and gas, electricity and public transport systems.
From automated signalling and train control, operation control centres and passenger information, to contactless ticketing technology for multimodal, multi-operator transport networks, Thales delivers world-class, turnkey solutions.
The Group is the pioneer supplier of high-performance CBTC (Communications-Based Train Control) for urban rail operators to meet growing passenger demands. Thales is also the leader in ETCS (European Train Control System) for Main Line Rail, to maximise use on new or existing infrastructures.
Case study
Increased Throughput and Access Control for the London Underground
Up to 20 percent gains in throughput will be achieved by modernising the Jubilee, Northern and Piccadilly lines with SelTrac® CBTC technology for increased capacity and reliability. Thales has also installed an access control system for the more than 30,000 maintenance and engineering personnel, based on smart-card technology.


Smart Sensors
Thales integrates multiple fixed and mobile sensors to observe, detect, classify, locate and track intrusion for crosscue data, in real time, resulting in lower false-alarm rates.
Optimised sensor deployment is customised to local context, using: surveillance radars, radio communication sensors, electromagnetic and seismic sensors, and thermal cameras, to build a solution that will dominate any type of situation or event (threats, environmental conditions, operational issues).

Location-Based Services with Multi-Tracking Platform Solution
Thanks to its strong involvement in the EGNOS and GMES projects, Thales has developed applications for location-based services. For example, rescue workers from fire departments, police forces or non-governmental organisations can rapidly assess emergency situation, using these satellite based
solutions. In addition, Thales satellite-based detection and warning systems assist the protection of critical sites or infrastructures, and monitor the movement of hazardous goods to prevent accidents.
Case study
Emergesat Aids Victims of Humanitarian Disasters
Thales Alenia Space will supply two Emergesat units to Casques Rouges Foundation. The units are used for communications links during humanitarian relief work and other crisis situations. Using satellite-transmitted
information, Emergesat provides relief and decision teams with an overview to better coordinate onsite
operations.


Secured ICT Systems
Thales leads the world in cryptographic security technology to protect and support for industries, agencies and governments.
Thales designs assure secured redundancy, while its open-architecture software enables interoperability, scalability and hosting.
Thales solutions integrate proprietary encryptors and other protections for fixed, mobile and wireless networks to yield uniquely resistant end-to-end security and secured back-office environments. Custom-scaled to match customer needs, Thales solutions use trusted platforms that are fully secured to the highest levels of user authentication and data integrity, enabling the electronic exchange of sensitive data and simplifying the services for non-expert users.
Case study
French Ministry for the Economy, Finance and Industry (MINEFI)
Thales is one of the leading partners to the MINEFI and has contributed to Copernic, France's biggest e-government project to overhaul the tax authority's organisation to improve overall efficiency and services for taxpayers and by modernising the ministry's information system.
Key projects Thales has worked on:
• impots.gouv.fr portal: development of the French tax administration's online tax portal.
• Security: support for the technical aspects of information system security for the Copernic programme.
• Aqui-Pro: This "Professional Acquisitions" application manages business tax collection for the Copernic programme.


Synthetic Environment
Thales has developed a powerful 3D modelling tool for training and mission rehearsal in complete urban area emersion.
Designed for the needs of fire brigades, police, home office, defence ministries and other public and private services, it can quickly reproduce the area where the civil security forces are dispatched, using available data. This visual restitution enables the intervention team to view the 3D model in virtual reality, which gives all operational constraints.
Case study
French Special Forces Use Thales 3Dchrono
Working directly in a virtual reality, French special forces train and prepare for missions. Thales 3Dchrono draws on data from satellite imagery, photos, maps and CAD, to create a complete synthetic environment to integrate all operational constraints, including safety, vulnerability, time management and targeting accuracy.
