France's Direction générale de l'armement (DGA) has formally qualified the Thales Sea Fire S-band multifunction active electronically scanned array (AESA) radar ahead of integration into the combat system of the new Amiral Ronarc'h-class Frégate de défense et d'intervention (FDI) frigates.

Announced on 21 October 2021, the qualification milestone follows 18 months of land-based testing performed at the DGA's Site d'expérimentation des systèmes de défense aérienne (SESDA) shore integration facility at Saint-Mandrier, near Toulon, on the Mediterranean coast. The radar is now being transferred to Naval Group to support FDI combat system integration activities.
