MBDA signed two Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs) with Greek companies MILTECH and ALTUS LSA, as part of its “R&D Booster” initiative in Greece on February 6, 2024.
MBDA’s “R&D Booster” is a component of the strategic partnership agreement between France and Greece signed in 2021 and aims to develop long-term co-operations in Europe.
According to MBDA’s announcement, together with MILTECH and ALTUS, MBDA will collaborate on projects to develop systems based on the AKERON MP missile.

The first stage of the partnership with MILTECH concerns the development of an AKERON MP launch kit, which MBDA is now offering on the global market as an option for light automatic turrets fitted with low-calibre guns.
By joining forces with ALTUS, under the second partnership agreement, MBDA is seeking to develop a range of tactical drones equipped with AKERON MP missiles. This cooperation will begin by validating the integration of AKERON MP missiles on ALTUS’s new ATLAS 8 HEAVY LIFTER UAV.
These development projects complement existing cooperation initiatives in the fields of production, services, and R&D. The aim of all of these projects and contracts is to strengthen ties between MBDA and the Hellenic Defence Industrial Base.
