Thales

Data-driven technology and innovation for greener aerospace

We’re entering a new era of flight. Building agile and innovative solutions that boost the overall efficiency of airports. Using real-time data to reduce flight emissions as we move towards net zero by 2050. Supporting the safe integration of drones into the aviation ecosystem. And keeping all digital communications reliable, fast and secure.

This is blue-sky thinking that’s leading to greener skies.

The airport of the future is equipped for efficiency. Its digital backbone enables seamless communication between passengers, staff and crew – as well as the technology across the airport ecosystem. Fast, secure 5G networks connect a multitude of touchpoints and sensors, generating reams of actionable data that can be used to inform fast and confident operational decisions.

Whether it’s passenger touchpoints that talk to each other from check-in to boarding, specialist techniques such as drone connection and airspace management, or integrated radars and navaids that support take-off and landing, everything is connected, aligned and designed to minimise the impact of air travel.

Our solutions focus on making this future airport a reality. Our Fly to Gate solution combines biometrics with document verification to create a secure digital ID to use at every touchpoint, and reduces passenger processing time by 30%. Our world-leading airspace management covers both unmanned and piloted traffic. Our Aveillant radar ensures safe, efficient flights by detecting drones and helping with wind farm mitigation. And our pioneering cyber innovations help keep users connected whilst safeguarding digital interactions.
