Counter-drone developer EOS Defence Systems has signed a teaming agreement with French government-owned weapons manufacturer KNDS France to cooperate in remote-controlled weapon stations.
EOS signed a teaming agreement to jointly pursue new business opportunities and advance cooperation on remote-controlled weapon stations.
The agreement establishes a framework for cooperation across marketing and product development, enabling both companies to combine their complementary expertise in weapons and remote-controlled weapon stations, weapon systems and integrated defence solutions.
“This teaming agreement reflects our shared commitment to respond to evolving operational requirements requesting high level medium calibre weapons in 30x113 calibre,” according to KNDS France chief sales executive officer Olivier Travert.
“KNDS France proposes its ITAR-free 30M781 multipurpose gun (30x113), dedicated to land and naval missions.”
Under the agreement, the companies will collaborate to identify business opportunities in new markets and customer segments of mutual interest (Middle East and North Africa, the Asia-Pacific region, and Europe), as well as to develop and execute joint marketing initiatives.
The cooperation also enables the potential co-development of new products, including the integration of ITAR-free advanced weapon systems, technologies and integrated solutions aligned with the companies’ respective areas of expertise.
The agreement further supports the sharing of relevant intellectual property, technical know-how and research outcomes to accelerate the commercialisation and deployment of jointly developed or marketed solutions.
“By combining EOS, best-in-class counter-drone systems with state-of-the-art medium calibre weapons and vehicles from KNDS, this partnership will provide modern and ITAR-free evolutive solutions for armed forces, in a constantly changing environment,” according to EOS chief executive officer Andreas Schwer.
