The French Defence Procurement Agency (DGA) approved Safran Electronics & Defense and MBDA to supply the THUNDART long-range land strike solution.
The program replaces the French Army's existing Unitary Rocket Launcher (LRU) capability. This initiative modernizes deep strike assets by leveraging mature subsystems to optimize delivery timelines.
The project generates engineering and production jobs at key industrial sites across France. This program reinforces the nation's sovereign defense industrial base through sustained manufacturing activity.
