BAE Systems and Turkish Aerospace have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to establish a strategic alliance to explore opportunities to collaborate on the development of uncrewed air systems (UAS).
The agreement will see experts from aerospace and defence company Turkish Aerospace work together with BAE Systems’ combat air experts to explore common opportunities on uncrewed systems, according to a media release.
