Thales Group

Thales Group is a French multinational specializing in aerospace, space, defense, transportation, and digital security, headquartered in Paris. Originating from Thomson‑CSF and rebranded in 2000, Thales provides avionics, air‑traffic management, satellites, cybersecurity, and mission systems to governments and critical‑infrastructure operators. It operates in 60+ countries with major engineering centers across Europe. Thales reported roughly $21 billion in revenue in 2023 and employs about 80,000 people. Programs depend on complex supply chains—electronics, composites, propulsion, software—and secure collaborations with prime contractors and governments. The company applies rigorous third‑party and export‑control compliance, zero‑trust cybersecurity, and secure development practices to safeguard sensitive information and national‑security workloads.
