Thales opens defence facility in Denmark
Thales has opened its first defence facility in Denmark to provide services for the Danish armed forces’ Sotas vehicle communication system.
Thales delivers Sotas systems for Danish forces’ tracked and wheeled vehicles under a contract signed in 2017 with the Danish Defence and Logistic Organization (DALO). The contract also includes services for Sotas systems.
Thales’ Sotas communication system is based on modular and scalable open architecture. The modular components can be assembled and scaled to provide optimal system configurations for all vehicle types and missions. Thales will work with DALO at the new Danish facility to ensure smooth integration of Sotas with other types of equipment.
Martin Søegaard, responsible for Thales’ defence activities in Denmark, said: ‘Thales’ ambition is to provide efficient and high performance solutions including services to the Danish forces. DALO’s trust in Thales’ expertise is key for the opening of this facility in Denmark, which is the beginning of a new chapter in the relationship between the Danish defence and Thales.’
