Existing Collaboration and Enhancements
AXISCADES has been a trusted partner of MBDA for several years, particularly in the offset sector. The Indian firm has provided critical services, including test benches and tailored solutions for MBDA’s MICA missile systems. Moreover, AXISCADES manages depot-level maintenance for missile launchers, ensuring quality and cost-effectiveness. As global operations for MBDA expand, both companies anticipate increased workload and deeper cooperation.
Expanding Horizons
Building on their established groundwork, the partnership will extend into new domains. AXISCADES, recognized for its support to prominent aerospace OEMs and as an esteemed supplier to India's Ministry of Defense, is set to contribute advanced engineering capabilities. Both companies will explore how these competencies can drive future MBDA projects in India while bolstering the Indian government's self-reliance initiative, 'Atmanirbhar Bharat'.
Task forces have been established to identify and execute new cooperation areas effectively, showcasing the proactive approach of both organizations.
New Facilities for Enhanced Support
As part of their efforts to enhance collaboration, AXISCADES will set up dedicated facilities for MBDA at the Aerospace Park, situated near the Kempegowda International Airport in Bengaluru.
