Thales and Systematic partner to strengthen Denmark’s air defence capabilities
Herning, Denmark – Thales and Systematic today announced a strategic partnership to provide the Danish Armed Forces with advanced, interoperable air defence capabilities.
The partnership, unveiled at DALO Industry Days 2026, combines Systematic’s expertise in command-and-control software with Thales’ combat-proven air defence systems, enabling stronger integration and co-ordination of capabilities including SAMP/T NG and other air defence systems.
This cooperation will support key Danish defence requirements, including Air Command and Control (C2) and Surface-Based Air Missile Defence (SBAMD), helping deliver a modern and interoperable approach to air defence.
It will also strengthen local industrial capabilities in Denmark, supporting long-term national value creation and opportunities for future export.
This alliance also reflects the growing importance of European industrial cooperation in delivering sovereign defence capabilities that can meet national and allied requirements.
Together, Thales and Systematic will support the Danish Acquisition and Logistics Organisation (DALO) in achieving an integrated air defence capability, combining their respective expertise to support Denmark’s defence priorities and strengthen its ability to operate alongside NATO allies.
