MBDA has been awarded a contract by the UK MoD's DSTL (Defence Science and Technology Laboratory) and the French DGA (Direction Générale de l'Armement) to launch a new tranche of research and technology (R&T) under the aegis of the MCM-ITP (Materials and Components for Missiles - Innovation and Technology Partnership) research and technology programme.
Over the last six years, and with an annual budget of approximately €13 million, the programme has supported over 100 state-of-the-art research projects. The partnership community has developed and now includes over 100 industrial partners, SMEs, research centres and academia in France and the United Kingdom. The unique MCM-ITP business model, which sees industry contributing 50% of the funding, is the benchmark for research and technology development in the defence sector and now continues into a second phase through to 2015 and beyond.
