Thales, a global technology leader operating in defence & security, aeronautics & space, and cybersecurity & digital identity, has provided technical solutions in both civilian and military aspects for Vietnam.
It has cooperated with the national flag carrier Vietnam Airlines and the Vietnam Air Traffic Management Corporation (VATM) in monitoring and protecting flight zones, according to Nicolas Bernardin, Director of Thales Vietnam.
The group has also worked with military-run telecommunications company Viettel Group in SIM card production, and with banks in credit card production, and with the Vietnam Posts and Telecommunications Group (VNPT) in developing telecom satellites, smart cities, digital identity and cybersecurity.
Especially, over the past 10 years, Thales has collaborated with Vietnamese partners in the field of defence to modernise military platforms, Bernardin added.
He expressed his pride when the group has been chosen by Vietnam to provide technology solutions such as sonar, electronic or radar technology navigation systems, affirming that the group is making efforts to develop partnerships with local industries to strengthen their capacity in technology application and transfer.
