Air and Space Force

Mastering the space environment, developing observation, intelligence, surveillance and airspace control capabilities - these are the challenges facing our customers. In order to meet these challenges of national sovereignty, airmen need to rely on credible partners to provide them with reliable information and operational equipment to act effectively. To guarantee the success of their missions, airmen need:

Operational equipment

Airmen need modern, well-maintained aircraft equipped with advanced communication, navigation and surveillance systems.

Logistic support

To maintain operations, airmen need solid logistical support. This includes spare parts management, refueling, aircraft maintenance and air base management.

Intelligence and information

Airmen need accurate information on potential threats, enemy movements and weather conditions. Access to intelligence and surveillance services is crucial.

Secure communication systems

Real-time communication is essential for coordinating air operations. Reliable and secure communication systems are needed to exchange critical information.

As a preferred partner of major state contractors and industrial prime contractors, Equans is committed to providing technological solutions and operational support to help airmen succeed in their missions and ensure national security.

Equans via its specialized subsidiary Ineo Defense, designs, builds and deploys information and communication systems tailored to the needs of defense and national security, from the expression of need... to operational and intelligence maintenance. We are also involved in the implementation of availability contracts with performance commitments for aircraft (flight-hour commitments), equipment or combat systems; or for the management of consumables, and/or repairs.
