Thales Company Profile
Unlike the Greek philosopher for which it's named, Thales (TAH-less) knows itself. In particular, it knows Defense, Aerospace, and IT & Services. France's largest defense company, its Defense division includes airborne systems (intelligence/surveillance, missiles), land and joint systems (command and control systems, vehicle electronics, optronics, munitions), and air-defense systems (anti-missile systems, detection/identification systems). Aerospace offerings include avionics, air traffic management, and aircraft simulators. Lastly, IT & Services includes network, communications, and transaction security systems. The French government owns about 27% of Thales.
