As MBDA attends the eight editions of DIMDEX (Doha International Maritime Defence Exhibition and Conference – Hall 4, stand n. 108), by reaffirming its long-term and consistent commitment to this key event as a Gold Sponsor, the company continues to focus on fostering a future of security, based on high tech defence as the primary focus.
MBDA can rely on a long-standing partnership and cooperation with Qatar, where the company has been providing its most advanced missile systems fitted on naval, ground, and air platforms and continues to support the Qatar National Vision 2030, with its state-of-the-art and new-generation products and systems designed to sustain the Nations security and defence.
Innovation and cooperation are fundamental to MBDA’s DNA and are the basis by which the company approaches new and complex scenarios, where defence and security are an absolute must. Consequently, MBDA’s attendance at DIMDEX this year is completely in line with the exhibition’s key theme of “Igniting the Future of Maritime Security and Beyond”.
DIMDEX represents a great opportunity to display the company’s principal solutions and capabilities, therefore MBDA will be showcasing the wide range of its state-of-the-art and next-generation systems to support air, land, and naval defence.
The new AKERON MP and MARTE ER are just two of the most advanced MBDA products being showcased at DIMDEX.
AKERON is the only 5th generation combat-proven missile in service as it has been operationally tested and proven in extreme climates (desert and sub-arctic conditions). The system’s design includes the growth potential necessary for future modern land combat systems.
MARTE ER is already one of the key components of Qatar’s Missile Defence Coastal Batteries, together with Exocet MM40 Block 3. The Country was able to rely on the system during the recent Football World Cup in 2022, with MBDA having completed major deliveries to ensure operational readiness in time for the event, enabling Qatar Armed Forces to secure and supplement its air defence capability. Marte ER and Exocet MM40 B3, together with VL Mica and Aster B1 are proudly on display at the Qatar Emiri Naval Forces booth at DIMDEX this year.
MBDA’s new generation of air defence technologies developed to protect ground and naval assets are represented on the main stand by Aster B1 NT. With its increased target acquisition range and being capable of coping with tactical ballistic missiles to guarantee an increased footprint of defended areas, the missile will be soon supporting the new SAMP/T batteries for the Italian and French Armed Forces.
Together with this missile representing a solution for top-layer air defence, MBDA is also showcasing Mistral 3, part of the range of capabilities and technologies able to respond to all layers of air defence from the very short to the long-range in MBDA portfolio.
To secure protection from modern UAV attacks MBDA is promoting its Sky Warden solution as the most advanced technological answer. The system can manage the full C-UAS kill chain from detection to neutralization. Designed to operate both as an integrated component in a layered air defence architecture or a standalone configuration. Sky Warden is a modular, scalable, and evolvable system able to match specific complex operational scenarios.
Meteor and Storm Shadow are just two of the products on show for air superiority, both are also showcased at the Qatar Emiri Air Force booth. The first is a cornerstone of MBDA cooperation and will keep on evolving next-generation air-to-air combat as it is already integrated into the most modern combat aircraft, including Eurofighter, Rafale, and Gripen and it is currently undergoing integration into the F-35 fighter.
Building on the long-lasting relationship with Qatar, MBDA is fully committed to providing the Country with its best-in-class and new-generation products and systems, which will be on display at DIMDEX 2024.
