KNDS and EOS Defence Systems have signed a teaming agreement to cooperate on remote-controlled weapon stations and associated weapons systems, the companies stated.
The agreement establishes a framework for collaboration on marketing, product development and future business opportunities, combining KNDS’ medium-calibre weapons expertise with EOS Defence Systems’ remote weapon stations and counter-UAS technologies.
According to the companies, the partnership will focus on integrating weapons and remote-controlled weapon stations to support land and naval applications. The cooperation may also involve the co-development of new systems and the integration of ITAR-free technologies.
Olivier Travert, Chief Sales Executive Officer of KNDS France, said the partnership responds to changing operational requirements.
“This teaming agreement reflects our shared commitment to respond to evolving operational requirements requesting high level medium caliber weapons in 30×113 caliber. KNDS proposes its ITAR-free 30M781-Multi Purpose Gun (30×113) dedicated to land and naval missions.”
Andreas Schwer, Chief Executive Officer of EOS Defence Systems, said the cooperation aims to combine both companies’ capabilities to deliver integrated solutions.
“By combining EOS best-in-class Counter-drone systems with state-of-the art medium caliber weapons and vehicles from KNDS, this partnership will provide modern and ITAR free evolutive solutions for armed forces, in a constantly changing environment.”
Under the agreement, the companies will jointly pursue opportunities in several regions, including the Middle East and North Africa, the Asia-Pacific and Europe. Planned activities include joint marketing initiatives and potential collaboration on new products aligned with both firms’ areas of expertise.
