KIEV, June 18 (Xinhua) -- Ukrainian and German defense firms signed a memorandum of understanding to jointly develop the Freyja ground-based air defense anti-ballistic system, the Ukrinform news agency reported on Wednesday.
The document, signed by Ukraine's Fire Point and Germany's Hensoldt companies at the Eurosatory defense exhibition in Paris, outlines a plan to jointly integrate combat-proven, existing components into the air defense system capable of detecting and intercepting ballistic missiles, the report said.
Fire Point, as the project's prime contractor, will take overall charge of the system's concept, manufacture, test and supply the FP-7 missiles, launchers and control systems.
Hensoldt will be responsible for producing, testing and supplying radar systems for Freyja, as well as supporting their integration into the overall system. Enditem
