An insight in to our Series A round
UK-based engineering firm QinetiQ has acquired defense aviation service provider Air Affairs Australia.
QinetiQ was formed in July 2001, when the Ministry of Defence (MOD) split its Defence Evaluation and Research Agency (DERA) in two. The smaller portion of DERA, was rebranded Dstl (Defence Science & Technology Laboratory).
As part of the BEQ consortium, QinetiQ will work together with prime contractor Babcock International and Elbit Systems UK to deliver the capability for the UK Royal Navy surface platforms.
At the Singapore Airshow this week, French manufacturer Texelis announces that together with its partner, QinetiQ, they have delivered the first in-wheel Electric Hub Drive and suspension prototype system for installation on an 8x8 armored vehicle.
