Belgium selected Thales GM200 MM/C radars for its Blue Dome layered air-defense program on Tuesday, November 10, 2026. Defence Industry Europe reported that the equipment will give command centers and weapons systems a common picture of tracked threats.

Radar strengthens networked defense

The GM200 MM/C combines air surveillance, air-defense and counter-battery missions in a mobile system. Thales says it can detect, track and classify small drones, loitering munitions, missiles, low-flying aircraft, rockets, artillery rounds and mortar fire.

The radar can be deployed in under 60 seconds, operated remotely within a network and transported in a standard 20-foot container. Its selection adds Belgium to a European user base that includes the Netherlands, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Lithuania.

NASAMS integration broadens relevance

Belgium's choice follows work in the Netherlands to integrate the radar with Kongsberg's Fire Distribution Centre and Raytheon's AMRAAM missile within the NASAMS air-defense architecture. A common system can support shared training, maintenance and software development, although the reported announcement did not disclose the order value, radar quantity or delivery schedule.

What has changed since the last report

Thales stock traded at 231.80 euros on Lang & Schwarz at 18:35 CET on Tuesday, November 10. That was 3.41 percent above the 224.15-euro quote in the own report published on Thursday, November 5; the comparison is separate from the Xetra daily close.
