EDGE, one of the world’s leading advanced technology and defence groups, and Roketsan, a leading Turkish company which designs, develops, and manufactures rockets, missiles, guided munitions, and weapon systems, have signed an agreement to explore potential partnerships in the smart weapon development.
Under the agreement, the two companies will work together to explore opportunities in the joint development of new and advanced smart weapon technologies.
Notably, the potential strategic partnerships include opportunities in the joint development of guided artillery, missiles, torpedos, and associated subsystems.
The agreement with Roketsan is the latest bi-lateral engagement between EDGE and Türkiye’s defence industry.
In October 2023, EDGE signed a strategic cooperation agreement with SAHA Istanbul, a respected association representing more than 1,000 Turkish defence companies, aimed at facilitating deeper cooperation between the UAE and Türkiye.
Further, EDGE has also announced that it is inaugurating a dedicated office in the UAE named MALATH, which will act as a catalyst for new business engagement between EDGE and SAHA companies, marking a new chapter in UAE-Türkiye cooperation in the advanced technology and defence sectors.
