PARIS - In a context of growing collaboration between European nations to bolster collective security, the Romanian General Directorate for Armaments has just signed a landmark agreement with France’s Direction Générale de l’Armement (DGA) to acquire 12 Thales Ground Master 200 Multi-Mission All-in-one (GM200 MM/A) radars. This government-to-government agreement, funded under the European Union’s SAFE program, underlines the high level of partnership between France and Romania. The first delivery is expected in 2027.

The GM200 MM/A is a combat-proven medium-range 4D AESA radar, already deployed in active conflict zones, designed to detect and track any target, from low-flying drones to high-altitude aircraft and missiles, up to 350 kilometers away, providing advanced software-defined technology in response to evolving threats.
