Thales ramps up Antares production for French Army AFVs

by Christopher F Foss

Thales LAS France SAS is ramping up the production of the Antares laser warning and local situational awareness system (LWLSAS) for the French Army, the company told Janes in April.

By early April 2021 just over 80 had been completed, and a typical Antares LWLSAS production rate is to be 100 units a year, the company added.

Antares weighs less than 20 kg, and can be integrated with a platform’s NATO Generic Vehicle Architecture (NGVA).

It was accepted by the French Army following trials with a number of prototype systems that were delivered from 2016 under funding from the French Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA).

Antares is usually mounted on the roof or turret of an armoured fighting vehicle (AFV), and provides information if targeted by a laser rangefinder or designator, thereby enabling the crew to take action.
