Ground Alerter 10 (GA10) Contract Signed

Bonn/Germany, 15 November 2024, the OCCAR-EA Director, Joachim Sucker and the representative of THALES LAS, Mr. Kai Taylor, signed the Contract for the Ground Alerter 10 (GA10) Standard 3 Programme.

The GA10 capability provides fully automatic, 24/7 Sense & Warn radar protection and comprises both the radar system and a foldable mast for swift deployment.

The aim of the GA10 Standard 3 Programme is to improve the performance of the radar (including 3D capability), increase its threats detection scope and address obsolescence aspects via the provision of a Mid-Life Upgrade (MLU) to the existing counter artillery system, which is currently in service with Germany and France and is manufactured by THALES Land and Air Systems (LAS) Germany.

The programme scope includes the definition, development and embodiment (retrofit) of existing systems and an improved design, in addition to initial In-Service Support (ISS) with THALES LAS Germany as the prime contractor.

This new OCCAR programme involves Germany and France as Participating States and will be managed within the COBRA PD in the OCCAR site in Bonn.
