Space42 and Leonardo DRS partner to enhance UAE national security

Space42 and Leonardo DRS have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to develop next-generation national security mission systems for the United Arab Emirates. The agreement aims to integrate Leonardo DRS’s C5ISR mission systems with Space42’s secure, AI-enabled satellite connectivity and Beyond Line of Sight (BLOS) capabilities.

The partnership focuses on strengthening the UAE’s national security ecosystem by providing resilient, mission-ready networks and sovereign satellite infrastructure. This integration is intended to support informed decision-making and operational resilience in increasingly complex and interconnected security environments.
