Interview | Vice president and country director–India, Thales, Emmanuel de Roquefeuil
Thales signed a MoU with BDL for ToT of STARStreak missile capability to India. What can you tell us about this project?
Thales and Bharat Dynamics Limited (BDL) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during Aero India 2017 to assess the opportunity for the transfer of technology (ToT) of the STARStreak missile capability to India with the support of the government of the United Kingdom (UK). Through this MoU, Thales and BDL seek to jointly offer a ‘Make in India’ solution to help service growing international demand for this product.
The STARStreak missile relies on unique, leading-edge technology for its efficacy. The purpose of the MoU is to fully explore how we can create a business case and an operational plan to enable elements of this technology to be effectively transferred to BDL. The MoU is the trigger for us to start this very exciting project together.
This common development will strengthen the cooperation of Thales and BDL in the field of very innovative technologies.
