ARLINGTON, VA: ̶ Leonardo DRS, Inc. announced today that it will be adding significant resources in the United Arab Emirates (U.A.E.) in support of the country’s defense forces.
The company’s Land Electronics business unit has signed a teaming agreement with U.A.E.-based International Golden Group PJSC (“IGG”). The partnership brings together one of the U.A.E.’s premier defense companies with a leading U.S. technology company to deliver wide-ranging projects for the country’s military forces.
As part of the agreement, Leonardo DRS will establish a new engineering and support facility in IGG’s Industrial Park - Abu Dhabi to assist new projects for the Emirati forces and includes the hiring and training of locals to fill new high-tech manufacturing positions.
New projects Leonardo DRS and IGG expect to collaborate on include, advanced communication systems integration in support of various tactical C4I projects, and on-board vehicle power systems which provide combat vehicles with up to 120kw of mobile electrical power for complex C4ISR systems, mobile command posts, radars, weapon systems and other power-hungry expeditionary capabilities.
“We are proud to be supporting the Emirati forces with advanced technology and a strong local partner in the International Golden Group,” said Bill Guyan, vice president and general manager of the Leonardo DRS Land Electronics business unit. “Additionally, the United Arab Emirates and the United States have a robust military relationship, and we are eager to work with IGG to provide the guidance, technology and support required to increase interoperability between the U.S. and Emirati forces, allowing them to strategically operate more closely,” Guyan said..
The agreement deepens an existing long-term relationship with the U.A.E. Government while adding the strength of a strong and well-resourced Emirati business partner.
“The recent growth of the Leonardo DRS Land Electronics business in the U.A.E. has produced this natural next step. We are proud to lay down enduring roots and a strong business presence. We remain committed to the success of our UAE customer and UAE Vision 2021. ” Guyan said.
