LISAT´s first visit to Thales headquarters
November 22nd, 2024
On November 18th, our team visited the facilities of Thales Portugal in Paço de Arcos to learn more about the operations of one of our key partners.
The activity began with a demonstration of Tacticos, a combat management system designed to serve maritime security operations, followed by a demonstration of an air traffic control simulator developed for an airport control tower. After a short break, we attended presentations by the Marketing & Communication Director of Thales Portugal, Pedro Nunes, the Human Resources Director of Thales Portugal, Débora Louro, and updates on the progress of our team, which were also attended by the team responsible for the AEROS MH1 satellite — the second Portuguese satellite to enter orbit — which has been mentoring us throughout the entire project.
We thank Thales Portugal for their support and the opportunity to gain closer insight into the working methods and organization of one of the market leaders in Aeronautics, Space, and Naval Defence.
