São Paulo - Brazilian armament company SIATT and French firm Safran Electronics & Defense have agreed to collaborate on the creation of missile systems, precision-guided munitions, and coastal defense equipment, among other initiatives. SIATT, overseen by the United Arab Emirates-based EDGE, will also be involved in the development and manufacturing of solid-fuel rocket motors at its Brazilian plants.
The partnership encompasses areas such as inertial measurement and navigation systems, which determine a vehicle's location without satellite dependence, GNSS receivers, actuators (energy-to-motion converters), electro-optical sights, and sensors. EDGE Group CEO Hamad Al Marar stated that this agreement augments the company's partnerships in Brazil.
Safran Electronics & Defense's Defense business unit head Alexander Ziegler remarked that the agreement unites the strengths of both entities. EDGE Group has been expanding its operations in Brazil, recently signing agreements with local entities. On September 3, the group finalized its acquisition of Akaer, a company specializing in aviation systems like unmanned and electrical components.
In August, EDGE established a collaboration with Brazil's Navy for maritime surveillance, monitoring, and reconnaissance tasks. The Abu Dhabi-based corporation holds other agreements in Brazil, including ownership of Condor, a non-lethal technology developer, and ongoing partnerships with the Navy and Army.
