FSAF-PAAMS SAMP/T NG System: Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) of the First serial GF300 Module Radar and IFF (MRI)

Within the framework of the #FSAF-#PAAMS Programme managed by OCCAR (Organisation for Joint Armament Co-operation), the Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) for the Armée de l’air et de l’espace, French Air Force #SAMP/T NG 1st serial GF 300 MRI radar, developed and produced by Thales, has recently achieved its successful conclusion.

The FAT is the culmination of a long series of tests performed at the Thales #Limours’ Site in #France, aimed at guaranteeing the highest level of performance for the new multifunctional radar, allowing a high defence range and 360° coverage.

Thales’s Ground Fire air surveillance and air defence radar has been in full series production since the start of 2025, further to successful conclusion of factory acceptance tests (FAT) in the presence of representatives from the French Armament General Directorate (DGA).

Eight Ground Fire air defence radars will be delivered to French armed forces from 2026 , demonstrating Thales’ capacity to support France and Europe in their airspace protection and sovereignty needs through reliable production.
