In active conflict zones, Class 1 and 2 drones have fundamentally changed the nature of warfare, exposing the limitations of traditional air defence systems. The LGR275 Proxy is designed to address the urgent need to restore cost-effectiveness in counter-drone operations.
Built on Thales already proven laser guided rocket to counter-drone, this new solution helps resolve the imbalance between interception costs and operational efficiency, a challenge that can rapidly deplete stockpiles, strain defence budgets and undermine the sustainability of high-intensity drone warfare operations. The LGR275 Proxy is equipped with a proximity sensor and a military-grade warhead optimised for aerial targets.
In response to growing international demand, Thales Belgium is strengthening its industrial footprint and proximity to strategic customers, to ensure reliable, high-performance supply, in response to increasing international needs.
This new system further confirms Thales’ position as a trusted partner supporting customers in protecting their territories against evolving threats.
Alain Quevrin, Country Director Thales Belgium and Luxembourg, Thales, said: “Building on our already proven laser-guided rocket solutions, Thales provides a solution to strengthen nations’ defence readiness against drone threat, one of the key challenges of our times. Thales Belgium is the leader in NATO standard rockets and our solid production ramp-up allows us to meet the needs of the armed forces.”
