Efficiency Improvements This document may not be reproduced, modified, adapted, published, translated, in any way, in whole or in part or disclosed to a third party without the prior written consent of Thales - © Thales 2015 All rights reserved. With TRADS we can now process: 75, 000 -100, 000 rounds of SAA per day compared to approximately 50, 000 rounds of SAA a day for pit burns. Using 2 people per day instead of 6. Reduced environmental impact. Able to operate safely and predictably during periods of High Fire Danger or adverse weather conditions. 23 EOS-PARARI-TRADS-2017 Vehicles & Tactical Systems Business Line
