RAFALE FOR FINLAND
A Weapon System with perfect Capability for Finnish Air Force operational requirements and Finland’s Sovereignty, ensuring a strong, credible, reliable and preventive Defence solution.
The RAFALE concept makes it possible for one man, in one aircraft, to become a multi-task asset in the hands of its Commander. Integrated in the Joint C4 environment of Finnish Defence Forces, RAFALE is a true force multiplier, demonstrating everyday its capability to operate in highly contested environment theatres, with its perfect mix of capabilities. RAFALE for Finland is tailored to the Finnish environment.
A low-risk program, at an affordable and secured Life Cycle Cost for the decades of service in the Finnish Air Force.
RAFALE offers constantly enhanced capabilities with improved technologies, and additional features, to combat new emerging threats and meet Customer needs.
A European Weapon system to uphold Finnish national ambition.
The deepening European defence cooperation needs constructive and long-term visions and planning for which Finland and France share a common interest. Finnish-French cooperation is highly regarded, symbolized by high-level meetings during the last years. Finland joining the European Intervention Initiative and signing the new Framework Paper on Bilateral Defence Co-operation are important steps and give a good base for deepening the cooperation between our countries.
A comprehensive industrial participation program.
By choosing the RAFALE, Finland secures a deep level of involvement of the Finnish Industry, that fulfills the demands on Security of Supply and guarantees autonomy of use of the Finnish Air Force fleet, providing Finland with know-how, technology and production capabilities.
French Ministry for the Armed Forces is complementing RAFALE International Team with a wide Finnish-French Partnership offer, covering a high level of cooperation with the Finnish Defence Forces.

This Concept stems from sovereignty-driven early design requirements from the French Forces:
-100% French technology mastered by French Industry;
-Modern flexible On-condition Maintenance Concept, easing the operations with no more long-lasting scheduled maintenance visits;
-Proven robustness and reliability on all environmental conditions, from arctic to desert, at sea or in-land, or harsh contaminated pollution;
-Low footprint in all conditions: national or external Operations, Navy or Air Force;
-Structural Design safe-life target of 9000 hours for the Airframe.
