Thales Alenia Space signs MoU with universities in Bangladesh and Italy for aerospace cooperation.​

Thales Alenia Space, a joint venture between Thales (67%) and Leonardo (33%), signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujibur Rahman Aviation and Aerospace University (BSMRAAU) of Bangladesh and School of Aerospace Engineering of La Sapienza University of Rome (SIA) for academic cooperation in the field of aerospace on 29 May.

The BSMRAAU has established their grounds as the first aviation and aerospace university in Bangladesh whilst SIA is almost a century old academic institution and has grounded teachings in the aerospace engineering field over the last three decades, reads a press release.

Thales Alenia Space, as the leader in design and manufacturing of satellite-based systems in Europe with over 50 years of experience and an extensive heritage in building local capacities through technology and competence transfers plans, has partnered with SIA on various initiatives including an academic cooperation programme that aims to develop local competence in the field of Earth Observation.

Furthermore, Thales Alenia Space is the provider of the Bangabandhu Satellite-1 which is the first Bangladeshi geostationary communications and broadcasting satellite.

The MoU will aim to identify areas of collaboration on learning, teaching and research and development of space science and technology through collaborative initiatives. It is set to provide quality education in aviation and aerospace studies and to accelerate the expansion of Bangladesh's entry in this field.


The signing ceremony was held in Dhaka, in the presence of Giorgio Spada, director of export sales in Thales Alenia Space in Italy, Professor Paolo Teofilatto of the School of Aerospace Engineering of La Sapienza University of Rome, and Air Commodore Md Monirul Islam, registrar of BSMRAAU.

Dr Mattia Ventura, deputy head of mission at Embassy of Italy in Bangladesh, and other foreign members of these renowned organisations graced the ceremony via live streaming.

In addition, Air Vice Marshal ASM Fakhrul Islam, vice chancellor of BSMRAAU, exchanged the MoU with Sajid Abdur Rahman, business development manager of Thales in Bangladesh, and Roberto Sigismondi, export sales manager for Bangladesh in Thales Alenia Space.

"Thales Alenia Space strongly believes in cooperation between industry and academic institutions, as an instrument to grow local capacities and one of the pillars to establish and consolidate local industrial networks for the future space projects," said Giorgio Spada.

"The roadmap is clearly defined and shared, it will encompass a local capacity building path, supported by an academic partnership, to enable and sustain a progressive deployment of space infrastructures to meet the Bangladesh strategic views and priorities for earth observation."

Benoit Nalin, country director of Thales in Bangladesh, said, "This MoU will strengthen the collaboration between Italy and Bangladesh in the space and aerospace domains through innovation sharing and knowledge transfer. Having delivered Bangladesh's first satellite in 2018, this marks another pivotal moment for Thales as we support Bangladesh's continued space ambitions."

This is significant. There might be a good chance to get ToT from Leonardo and other Italian aerospace firms. Eventually, I see possibility of Italians assembling sub-assemblies in Bangladesh given favorable tax and tariff regimes, and those subassemblies combined for complete assembly as well, for sale in Asia. May be a long time coming, but possibility is there provided the govt. sweetens the pot for these companies. Talent and labor cost-wise - I am confident no one can touch us.

Thales has worked with DCNS and designed the electronics used on French ships, and it is involved in the construction of both the Horizon and FREMM programs, there are synergies there with our frigate program as well, if utilized.

Alenia is of course just as prolific in aerospace (both civil and military). They own the ATR-72 and ATR-42 civil turboprop airliner programme, as well as have part manufacturing shares in the Typhoon and B787 programmes.

This is an excellent step to start a nascent aerospace capability. If we can become the second largest apparel mfr. globally in twenty or so years, there is nothing that should hold us back from becoming a significant aerospace player eventually in that same frame of time.

All we need is planning, money and resolve. And a good dose of stability.

We need to sign a deal with China on aerospace cooperation. China has excelled in aerospace even has a space station of their own. I see a strong possibility of cooperation in this field with China that will surely result in joint Moon mission.

Thales should consider themselves fortunate to be allowed cooperation with the world's leading jet training nation.
BAF will soon put the world to shame by revealing their locally manufactured 6th generation fighter jet - Thales hopes they will be offered some ToT.

I sincerely hope it's not that rickshaw of a trainer, the SITARA HJT-36.

Yeesh! Allah help us.
