A French newspaper reported that the PARADE system costed 350 million euros ($385 million). Its delivery was reportedly delayed due to a lack of certain components, although the manufacturer gave assurances that it will be ready for use by this fall at the 2023 Rugby World Cup, where it will be programmed for 200 hours of surveillance. The Olympic and Paralympic Games will require 4,000 hours of surveillance, the newspaper said, citing a parliament report. Paris will host the Olympic Games from July 26 to August 11, 2024, and the Paralympic Games from August 28 to September 8, 2024.
