Thales Advances New Electro-Optic Shield Concepts for Armored Vehicles

Thales is working on next-gen electro-optic countermeasure concepts that could help military vehicles survive increasingly complex battlefield threats by making them harder to detect, track, and target.

Selected by the UK’s Defence Science and Technology Laboratory, the company will partner with British firm QinetiQ under the Next Generation Soft Kill (NGSK) program to explore advanced protection technologies for future land platforms.

Multiple candidate concepts will be assessed throughout the project, with one design set to be chosen for more extensive development and testing.
