Thales has successfullycompleted the testing of new deployment scenarios for combat identification and safe firing systems in the framework of field tests carried out at the Mourmelon camp (Marne department of France) for the Phoenix 2 upstream study program (PEA) of the French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA). The objective of Phoenix 2 is to provide the armed forces with efficient responses that are both quick to implement and cost-effective, and it contributes to the development of current and future land force programs.
Recent events in theatres of operations have demonstrated that there are still too many blue and blue fires. It is vital to be able to identify on the ground elements belonging to your own unit or section, as well as those of friendly/hostile forces in the framework of inter-ally or inter-armed forces operations.
