IG Defence Partners with Oman’s MSA Global to Explore Local Manufacturing of Defence Systems
Indian defence firm IG Defence has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with Oman's MSA Global to explore co-development and local manufacturing of three indigenous defence systems: the KAL long-range attack drone, the BAJ unmanned aerial interceptor, and the JWALA micro-missile system. The partnership aims to serve Oman and the Gulf Cooperation Council region amid rising security concerns, with intellectual property remaining Indian-owned. Details on manufacturing distribution between India and Oman remain unspecified.
