KATIM, a subsidiary of EDGE Group, and Thales Group have announced plans to collaborate on the development of Software Defined Radio (SDR) technologies in the UAE, aiming to cater to the country's high-tech programs and global export requirements.
The partnership, formalized with a declaration of intent signed during the international defense and security exhibition, Eurosatory in Paris, underscores a strategic initiative by KATIM and Thales to jointly develop, produce, and maintain advanced airborne and long-range HF radio communication solutions.
These technologies are crucial for meeting the UAE's extensive defense needs and enhancing its capabilities in international markets.
KATIM will contribute its expertise in integrated defense solutions. Meanwhile, Thales, a global leader in aerospace, defense, and security markets, brings decades of experience in SDR technologies and international market access.
The collaboration aims to create a robust portfolio of solutions that will not only meet domestic defense requirements but also drive exports to global markets. By combining their strengths, KATIM and Thales seek to establish a competitive edge in the rapidly evolving field of radio communications technology.
