The agreement was signed today at a ceremony at the first edition of the World Defense Show in Riyad, featuring Mr. Zeyad Al khalifa, Chief executive officer of Taqnia Cyber and Colin Mahoney, President of Customer & Account Management for Collins Aerospace.
The MoU is expected to benefit the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia in the development of sovereign, secure and advanced communications. As a leader in airborne and ground communication for the battlespace, Collins Aerospace will collaborate with Taqnia Cyber in the field of C4I, next generation data links, and transmission security.
Collins Aerospace CNPC-1000 provides for example a reliable, safe and secure unmanned aircraft system (UAS) command and control data link for UAS operations in shared airspace.
It provides both point-to-point communications and growth to fully networked communications for unmanned aircraft control, and can be installed in either the aircraft or the control station.
