This cooperation has the ultimate objective of offering missile systems at the right level of performance, while leveraging and reinforcing the sovereign capabilities of the UAE defence industry through significant local content.
The said Center in the UAE is the first of its kind for MBDA outside Europe and it is operational with a joint team of engineers from Tawazun Technology Innovation and MBDA working on the next generation of the Smart Weapons family.
At this point, it is recalled that as part of strengthening its close cooperation with Greece, MBDA recently inaugurated a new permanent office in Athens, strengthening the company’s presence in Greece and demonstrating its commitment to supporting the Hellenic Armed Forces.
