News Summary:

On September 18, 2026, Thales launched HexaForce, an AI-enhanced multi-domain command and control system designed for NATO and allied armed forces operating across land, air, sea, cyber, electromagnetic, space, and information domains. This platform supports command structures involving over 100,000 personnel and uses a resilient distributed architecture to connect national systems, coalition partners, and legacy technologies. Earlier on the same day, Thales introduced Luna 8, its next-generation hardware security module (HSM), to address cryptographic pressures arising from rapid artificial intelligence adoption and the potential threat of quantum computers to widely used public-key cryptography. This follows confirmation on September 18 that the government ordered multi-million euro long-range military radar systems from a French arms manufacturer.
