The ESG Elektroniksystem- und Logistik-GmbH – part of the Hensoldt Group since April of this year – will cooperate with the European defense specialist BAE Systems with the European defense specialist BAE Systems. In the course of this cooperation, opportunities for collaboration based on the experience in the European defense market and the technological know-how of both companies will be examined. The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) was signed in the first week of November.
“In times of an ever-changing security environment and rapid development of new technologies, the European industry must adapt and strengthen its resilience in order to meet the needs of its customers at the required speed,” explains Alan Carson, Director Fixed Wing Aircraft at ESG. “Given these challenges, it is only logical to invest in trusted, long-term partnerships. Both companies represent a strong commitment to our customers and we are therefore determined to bring our markets and cutting-edge technologies closer together.” https://militaeraktuell.at/salzburg-empfang-bundesheer-fuehrungskraefte/ Specifically, the collaboration between ESG and BAE Systems is about exploring opportunities for joint cooperation in various areas. Possible areas include training, autonomous platforms and mission systems for multi-domain operations. Both ESG and BAE Systems are already working on a number of European defense programs, including Eurofighter Typhoon, Tornado and Future Combat Air Systems. Addressing this fact, Tony Gilchrist, Business Development Director at BAE Systems Air, added: “A collaborative approach is central to the European defense industry and this agreement is another example of exploring opportunities for joint capabilities and technologies that will ensure our security in the future. Both BAE Systems and ESG are involved in many of the major European programs and both offer opportunities to push the boundaries of what is possible and ensure we deliver what our customers need to maintain their capability advantage.”
