Ground Master 400 Sets To work In Guiana

The first ThalesRaytheonSystems Ground Master 400 radar to be operational in France was inaugurated in Kourou, Guiana, on Nov. 27 in the presence of General Philippe Adam, Supreme Commander of French Guiana, Colonel Jean-Paul Besse, Commander of the Cayenne airbase and Jérôme Bendell, Vice-President of ThalesRaytheonSystems, France.

Designed to protect key assets to forces deployed on remote operations, the Ground Master 400 is, according to Thales, “the only system of its kind to combine superior detection of air threats at any altitude (especially high maneuvering targets at low elevation) with an unprecedented level of availability and mobility (one single ISO 20 ft container).”

This radar will participate in the protection of the European Space Center based in Kourou.

The Ground Master 400 has already been selected by 10 countries, including Canada, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Malaysia and Slovenia.
