News Summary:

On May 2, 2026, Thales unveiled SkyDefender, a new multi-layer air and missile defense system capable of detecting missiles from a distance of 5000 kilometers (3100 miles) and responding within seconds. The system, initially announced on March 11, 2026, integrates radars, geostationary satellite sensing, interceptors, and AI-based command tools, designed to cover threats from short-range drones to long-range missile attacks. This follows protests on May 1, 2026, where demonstrators gathered outside a Thales event in Garramilla/Darwin, Australia, challenging the multinational arms dealer and weapons manufacturer's presence and holding placards against war and the AUKUS security pact.
