AXISCADES Technologies, a provider of technology and engineering solutions, and MBDA plan to expand their strategic partnership, with a focus on increasing cooperation and scaling up current operations. As part of the collaboration, AXISCADES will set up a dedicated facility for MBDA at its upcoming premises in Aerospace Park near Bengaluru’s Kempe Gowda International Airport. The facility will include a test bench lab, missile launcher infrastructure, equipment, tools, and trained personnel. The companies formalized this commitment during the Paris Air Show 2025.
AXISCADES Aerospace & Technologies Pvt. Ltd., a long-standing Indian Offset Partner for MBDA, currently delivers built-to-spec and built-to-print test benches and solutions for MBDA’s MICA missiles and missile launchers. The company also manages Depot Level Maintenance for launchers. Both companies expect the volume of work to increase as MBDA’s global operations expand.
The partnership is also set to extend into new areas. AXISCADES, which supplies engineering and defence systems to several global aerospace OEMs and the Indian Ministry of Defence, will work with MBDA to explore new programs in India. Working groups have been established to define and implement these new cooperation areas.
“We are extremely proud of the journey we have made with AXISCADES and the further growth we will accomplish together,” said Eric Béranger, CEO of MBDA.
“Our long-standing partnership with MBDA is a testament to our engineering and system integration capabilities. We look forward to strengthening our collaboration through this dedicated facility and enhanced scope of work,” said Dr. Sampath Ravinarayanan, Chairman of AXISCADES.
Both companies aim to structure the partnership for long-term strategic and industrial collaboration.
