EDGE to Explore Collaboration Potential with Raytheon Emirates

Our Bureau - : Feb 23, 2023 - : 2:24 am

EDGE Group entities, EPI and Lahab Defence Ssystems, have signed Memorandums of Understanding (MoU) with Raytheon Emirates, a wholly owned subsidiary of Raytheon Technologies, to explore potential collaboration.

The agreement was announced on the third dasy of the ongoing IDEX 2023.

As per the MoU, the organisations will seek to align on production goals, as well as contribute towards Raytheon’s global supply chain. The collaboration will prioritise developing advanced technology products, like the Coyote Interceptor, and their subsequent components and services. For EPI’s part, this potentially includes manufacturing engineering, machining, surface treatments, equipping and sub-assembly, while Lahab will explore payload assembly contributions.

“EDGE is proud to be exploring a collaboration with Raytheon Emirates, as our advanced manufacturing services are well equipped to complement their international supply network,” said EPI CEO Christian Ziehe. “This mutually beneficial agreement goes a long way toward enhancing indigenous manufacturing capabilities. As we endeavour to facilitate Made in the UAE products, we believe our unique services will allow for localising components and achieve streamlined, regional production.”

“Aligning with established and capable local companies like EPI and Lahab Defence Systems will be a critical success factor for Raytheon Emirates as we look to coproduce our Coyote Counter-UAS interceptor here in the UAE,” said Fahad Al Mheiri, Managing Director of Raytheon Emirates. “Raytheon’s global supply chain will be strengthened through partnership with the UAE’s robust defence industrial ecosystem.”
