This contract marks the continuation of a long-standing partnership between Thales and the German Armed Forces, highlighting the trust and collaborative spirit that has been built over the years. For the past 15 years, the Thales site in Koblenz has been at the forefront of maintaining these critical systems. With this new agreement, Thales aims to expand its services, enhancing the training and operational capabilities of the German forces.
Christoph Ruffner, CEO of Thales Germany, emphasized the importance of simulation in military training: “Simulation plays a key role in handling, procedural, behavioural, and communication training in all operational areas and at all operational levels. Mastering modern aircraft in complex threat scenarios requires high-quality training. We are thrilled to be able to continue supporting the German Armed Forces in the Polygone programme.”
The Polygone programme, which is a collaborative effort between Germany, France, and the United States, aims to deliver high-quality training to aircrews, ensuring they are well-prepared for modern combat scenarios. The continuation and enhancement of this programme by Thales signify a commitment to advancing military training technologies and methodologies.
