The JV, named Proteus Advanced Systems, will be equally owned by ST Engineering and IAI. It will leverage the strengths and track record of its parent companies.
It will market and sell advanced naval missile systems including a next-generation anti-ship missile system.
A statement on IAI’s website read: “The setup of this JV is not expected to have any material impact on the consolidated net tangible assets per share and earnings per share of ST Engineering for the current financial year.”
ST Engineering employs about 22,000 people across offices in Asia, the Americas, Europe, and the Middle East. It caters to different customers in the defence, government and commercial segments in over 100 countries.
