With a sensor housing of just 28 liters, it can be carried in a backpack by two soldiers. The radar can be deployed in any weather\u2014especially in rain, snow, and fog, when optical sensors such as camera drones can no longer provide usable results.<\/p>\n<p>Expanded Production Capacities<\/p>\n<p>To meet the demand from the armed forces, Thales laid an important foundation as early as 2025 by expanding its production capacities.
