Precision motion and control systems manufacturer and systems integrator Moog Inc has announced an agreement with radar platform company Echodyne Corp.
The agreement is expected to accelerate the development and demonstration of integrated hardware and software solutions for defence applications by combining Moog’s weapon-system capabilities with Echodyne’s radar systems.
The collaboration will enable Moog and Echodyne to work together on expanding integrated air and missile defence capabilities, airfield safety systems and combat vehicle platforms.
“Moog recognises the value of our MESA radars’ unique high-fidelity data for effective counter-drone and low altitude air defence,” according to Echodyne chief executive officer Eben Frankenberg.
“We are excited by the opportunity to collaborate with an industry leader such as Moog.”
Moog and Echodyne plan to collaborate on test and experimentation, product development, demonstrations, and new business pursuits across a variety of applications in support of national security priorities.
The agreement marks a significant step towards delivering mission-ready systems for global defence markets, harnessing the strengths of both companies to provide mission configurable capabilities.
“We see incredible opportunity combining Moog’s weapon systems expertise with Echodyne’s advanced radar systems,” according to Moog Defense senior vice president Mike Gruver.
“This relationship allows us to move faster than we could independently.”
