For a minimum period of three years, Thales will be responsible for the provision, operation and maintenance of a complete network deployed on more than 60 points of presence in country (ISAF HQ, Regional Centres, Provincial Reconstructions Teams, Forward Support Bases, Operational Monitoring and Liaison Teams…). The system will be progressively deployed on the theatre of operations so as to back up the ISAF expansion in Afghanistan. The first delivery of equipment is planned for the end of December 2006. The deployment and installation of the systems will begin as of January 2007 The completion of the deployment for the complete network is planned for the end of 2007.

The system will be serviced by Thales’ selected highly qualified staff with the proper NATO clearance and a strong operational experience of comparable military theatres. In the framework of this Service contract, Thales will remain the owner of all deployed equipment and will maintain it for the duration of the contract through a 24-hours/7-days permanent Help Desk based in country. On site support will be provided to the users in order to guarantee the full availability of the service.
