Former head of the
Defence Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) Anthony Tether became
UKROBORONPROM adviser on long-term development. The parties signed the relevant
memorandum on August 26.
UKROBORONPROM reached the top-priority goal on overhaul and reconstitution of
the combat equipment. Now we will enter the next level of technology
exchange, producing modern armament and military equipment. As a result –
access to new markets and deeper integration into the existing ones”, – said
Director General of the SC “Ukroboronprom” Roman Romanov.
Anthony Tether mentioned that the Iron Curtain, separating Ukraine from the
world, fell 25 years ago, though its fragments kept hindering international
cooperation in defence industry until the present day.
“This Memorandum removes all the obstacles, opening the doors to mutually
beneficial cooperation and comprehensive development. I am glad to cooperate
with UKROBORONPROM. Today we start writing a new page in the history of the
rapid development of the defence complex of Ukraine,” – he added.
The founder of “Aeroscraft” Igor Pasternak shared his own experience of
cooperation with the SC “Ukroboronprom.” A year ago – together with American
company – the State Concern started working towards enhancing security of the
borders, and in the nearest future technology transfer will take place.
“UKROBORONPROM’s potential exceeds the capacities used today. With the support
of the US, the State Concern will show that it can produce the most advanced
technology for both domestic and export markets,” mentioned Igor Pasternak.
UKROBORONPROM is developing within the frameworks of the strategy “Ukrainian
shield,” focused on high-tech production, transition to international standards
(NATO) and supplying the army with modern types of armaments. The State Concern
extends cooperation with NATO and EU member countries, as defined by the
strategic course of the state.
