Under the SIA C2 contract, awarded by France's DGA defense procurement agency, Thales "will replace the Army and Navy's legacy command information systems with a single harmonized system to meet the growing need for force interoperability," according to a company news release.

"Over the next two years, SIA C2 will transform the command information systems of France's land and naval forces by combining them into a new-generation system," Thales said. "SIA C2 will facilitate information exchange at all levels by delivering a set of common tools for joint forces operations, while meeting all the specific requirements of land forces command."
