Building on decades of proven mission systems expertise, Thales is working with industry to accelerate the integration of crewed, uncrewed, and AI-enabled capabilities. Combining advanced sensing, command-and-control, secure connectivity, and mission systems integration, enhanced by cortAIx, Thales’ AI accelerator, the company is helping deliver interoperable, adaptable, and rapidly deployable solutions.

Thales’ participation in Babcock International Group’s ARMOR Force (Autonomous and Remote Maritime Operational Response – Force) framework demonstrates this approach in action, bringing together industry expertise and proven technologies to accelerate the delivery of next-generation maritime capability.

Through strategic industry collaboration and mission systems leadership, Thales is helping turn the Hybrid Navy vision into reality, enabling naval forces to transition towards a more connected, resilient, and operationally effective integrated fighting force.

“The Hybrid Navy is not simply about introducing autonomous platforms. It’s about fundamentally changing how naval forces operate, connect and deliver effect. In the UK, Thales is at the heart of making that transformation possible. We’re bringing together our expertise in sensing, mission systems integration, secure connectivity and autonomy with Babcock, while strengthening industrial collaboration in service of the Royal Navy.

“Our involvement in Babcock’s ARMOR Force embodies this approach. We are delivering the connected, adaptable and resilient capabilities that the Royal Navy and international allies need to maintain its operational advantage,” said Phil Siveter, CEO of Thales in the UK.
