TAWAZUN DYNAMICS' AL-TARIQ SYSTEM IMPLEMENTED ON MIRAGE AIRCRAFT
Tawazun Dynamics has announced that its flagship product, the Al Tariq system has been successfully integrated into Dassault's Mirage 2000 fighter aircraft.
Under an agreement with France's Dassault Aviation, Al Tariq will be fitted on UAE Air Force and Air Defence, UAEAF'&'AD, Mirage 2000-9 aircraft.
Tawazun Chief Executive Officer, Saif Mohamed Al Hajeri, said the integration of Al Tariq on the Mirage was a step forward for Tawazun Dynamics in particular and the UAE's defence industries in general.
"We are delighted with the growing cooperation between UAE companies and the world's leading OEMs (original equipment manufacturer) in aerospace. We see our collaboration with Dassault Aviation on the Mirage as a precursor for stronger collaboration between Tawazun Dynamics and the UAE's defence industry in general, with the leaders in the fields." Eric Trappier, Chairman and CEO of Dassault Aviation, stated that the implementation of Al Tariq system on Mirage 2000-9 highlights the continuous support of Dassault Aviation to the United Arab Emirates Air Force and Air Defence.
"This new success illustrates our commitment to the development of UAE's defence industry.
