PARIS - Thales and Dassault signed July 29 a modernization contract for Indian Air Force's Mirage 2000 fighter jet fleet, the electronics company said in a statement.
The deal was worth about 1 billion euros ($1.42 billion) for Thales, a company spokeswoman said.
Thales will supply the RDY-3 radar, navigation and attack equipment, and electronic countermeasures for India's 51 Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft. Dassault will supply a new onboard computer.
"The extensive involvement of Indian industry within the program will consolidate existing ties with the French aerospace industry and will reinforce long-term cooperation based on cutting edge technologies and the sharing of technical know-how and expertise," Thales said.
Separately, Dassault's Rafale has been shortlisted with the Eurofighter Typhoon for India's contract for 126 medium-range combat aircraft in a deal estimated to be worth $10 billion.
