“This partnership brings together Thales Belgium’s deep expertise in guided weapons and rocket systems with MSI’s proven track record in weapons integration and tactical vehicle platforms,” said Nguyen Trinh, CEO of MSI Defense Solutions. “Together, we’re strengthening transatlantic defense cooperation and advancing capabilities that directly support the warfighter.”
The MOU outlines plans for commercial and technical collaboration, starting with rocket launcher systems and air defence solutions. Both companies will evaluate ways to integrate Thales’ launcher and guided weapon technologies with MSI’s vehicle-based and expeditionary platforms, including for counter-unmanned aircraft systems and short-range air defence applications.
Alain Quevrin, CEO of Thales Belgium, said, “This collaboration is an important step in expanding Thales Belgium’s partnerships with agile, innovative integrators like MSI. By combining our technologies and operational know-how, we can deliver scalable, high-impact solutions to meet the evolving needs of our customers around the world.”
