Romania selected Thales on October 27, 2026, for a contract covering four mobile precision approach and landing radar systems. The Romanian Ministry of National Defence said the agreement with Thales Romania and Thales LAS France is worth 326.5 million Romanian lei excluding VAT, with deliveries planned in phases from 2028.

The Romanian Ministry of National Defence said the systems will identify and track aircraft and guide them during approach and landing. They are designed for military and civilian use during the day and at night, including difficult weather and hostile electromagnetic conditions.

Mobile systems broaden airbase flexibility

The deployable configuration allows the radars to operate from alternative locations and reduces dependence on fixed airbase infrastructure. Information from the systems will be available to Romanian and NATO air command and control networks.

Thales specialists in Romania and local partners are expected to support installation, integration and long-term availability. The program therefore combines equipment delivery with a local industrial and support role.

What has changed since the last report

The Romanian radar contract is a new order-related detail compared with our October 29 report. It adds to the evidence of defense demand, while the phased delivery schedule means the contract should be viewed as a medium-term contribution rather than an immediate revenue event.
