The physical security of sites, events, airports, and energy production is a key issue for Thales customers. It relies on a wide range of capabilities (information systems, networks, telecoms, infrastructure, civil engineering, etc.). The projects associated with the implementation of security and safety systems are highly innovative, international, and multi-industry in nature, requiring in-depth technical knowledge of the solutions and components, as well as mastery of the systems aspect needed for successful project completion. The role of PRS is to ensure the overall implementation of these projects by providing real added value based on products (SDP-Security Digital Platform) and controlling the overall engineering processes required for deployment.
