Thales Ready to Deliver Autonomous Capabilities through Project NYX

A UK Sovereign deployable capability, with 20+ years' experience and 200,000 combined flight hours, ready to deliver to the British Forces. 

As Thales in the UK shapes the future of autonomous operations, the team is prepared to offer a ready-to-field core system through Project NYX. Implementing spiral development and leveraging over 20+ years of expertise in Integrated Uncrewed Air Systems (UAS), Thales is able to offer a Minimal Deployable Capability. 

Building upon existing programmes, including the UK Peregrine Programme and deployments in the Gulf Region, Thales has demonstrated it’s capability by delivering complex rotary-wing weapons integration in less than 8 months. 

As a UK-sovereign solution, supported by more than 200 UK suppliers and over £500 million of annual UK spend, Thales can offer low-risk, flight-proven and deployable solution ready to meet the requirements of our British Forces, leveraging its operational expertise in autonomy.
