HENSOLDT France and G7 Global Aerospace announced the signing of a Teaming Agreement to collaborate on strategic and sovereign projects in Malaysia. The objective of this partnership is to provide advanced and secure solutions to the Malaysian Armed Forces, particularly the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF) and the Ministry of Defence (MINDEF).
The Teaming Agreement, signed during the Defence Service Asia (DSA) exhibition, builds on the complementary expertise of both companies. Through this collaboration, HENSOLDT France and G7 Global Aerospace will jointly offer capabilities, support and services in key areas such as Identification Friend or Foe (IFF), cryptography, and National Secure Mode (NSM), which are critical to protect military forces and platforms from friendly fires and secure air defence operations of the Royal Malaysian Air Force (RMAF).
