Thales, Renault sign MoU
Renault Trucks Defense and Thales have signed a Memorandum of Understanding in The Hague for the integration of Thales' networking solutions into Renault vehicles, the companies announced on 27 March.
The agreement covers the integration of Thales' SOTAS on-board communication systems into a range of Renault tactical, logistics, armoured and non-armoured vehicles for the export military and security forces markets.
The SOTAS vehicle communications server will be integrated with Renault’s electronic network, Battlenet Inside. SOTAS is designed around an open and modular architecture that makes it scalable and highly adaptive to changing operational requirements. The system’s modularity enables it to be configured for all vehicle types and missions.
SOTAS can be upgraded without the need for reinstallation.
