Mubadala, Sikorsky Aerospace Sign Deal
ABU DHABI - Mubadala Development Company (Mubadala), and Sikorsky Aerospace Services announced the signing of a Heads of Agreement (HOA) on Monday.
The signing of the agreement paved the way for a joint venture establishing an aviation military maintenance repair and overhaul (MRO) centre in Abu Dhabi.
Mubadala is a business development and investment company based in Abu Dhabi. Sikorsky Aerospace Services is a subsidiary of United Technologies Corporation.
The agreement was signed during the International Defence Exhibition and Conference (IDEX 2009) in Abu Dhabi. General Shaikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces was also present on the occasion. The new military MRO centre will be set up in close collaboration with the General Head Quarters (GHQ) of UAE Armed Forces to support the entire spectrum of logistics maintenance capabilities for the UAE Armed Forces Fixed and Rotary wing platforms.
The centre aims to become the military’s MRO centre of excellence by providing a broad scope of unique aviation capabilities. The centre is expected to enhance fleet readiness and meet the growing demands of the UAE Armed Forces and the regional military.
“Mubadala’s strategy to help build a self sustaining and commercially viable support system for the UAE and regional military is in line with the global military trend of using sophisticated outsourced support services,” said Waleed Al Mokarrab Al Muhairi, COO of Mubadala. “Our partnership with Sikorsky Aerospace Services fits our commercial strategy to evolve the Emirate of Abu Dhabi’s existing aerospace industry into a global aerospace hub,” he said.
The centre will work with military logistic providers in the UAE to provide a streamlined, efficient, and full system support as the UAE’s military continues to advance its capability by focusing on core operations.
