Israel Aerospace Industries, (IAI) the nation’s largest aerospace and defense firm, signed three cooperation agreements with Indian companies at the Aero India exhibition held last month in Bangalore.
The agreement between IAI and India’s Bangalore-based Dynamatic Technologies Limited calls for the Israeli company to transfer technology and production capabilities to Dynamatic that will enable the production of local mini UAV systems for Indian end-users.
Separately, IAI said its Golan Industries Division, signed a memorandum of understanding with Taneja Aerospace & Aviation Ltd., based in India’s southern state of Tamil Nadu, to cooperate in the development, production, marketing and sale of civil and military aircraft crashworthy-seats.
IAI also signed a memorandum of understanding to set up a joint venture with India’s Pune-based Kalyani Strategic Systems Ltd., the defense arm of Kalyani Group. As part of the accord, IAI and Kalyani will together aim to expand their activities in the Indian defense market and to build, market and manufacture air defense systems and ground-to-ground and ground-to-sea munitions, reports the Times of Israel.
