about us <\/h4><\/div>\n\n\n\n

MBDA is a unique multi-national European group, a global leader in complex weapon systems, playing a key role in the protection of nations. Established in the spirit of international co-operation, MBDA and its 20,000+ employees work together to support the sovereignty of its nations, and allied countries worldwide. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As an accelerator of innovation, MBDA is the only European group capable of designing and manufacturing complex weapons to meet all current and future operational requirements of all three of the armed forces (land, sea and air). MBDA is owned by Airbus (37.5%), BAE Systems (37.5%) and Leonardo (25%).<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Our innovation : SPLINTER <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

MBDA <\/strong>is also working with the French Ministry of the Armed Forces and the start-up U-Space, leveraging its agility and ability to innovate, to validate operational defence scenarios as part of the TOUTATIS demonstration. This project aims to develop two satellites capable of monitoring and hunting in low orbit (located between 400 and 1,000 km). The SPLINTER satellite is equipped with chemical propulsion, a full sensor and effector package, designed to experiment response against threats in low Earth orbit without creating new debris.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This initiative represents the initial phase of a long-term strategy to secure strategic autonomy in space. With the growing risks and the increasing reliance of armed forces on space services, protecting free and secure access to space has become a priority. Strengthened by its historic mission to uphold sovereignty, MBDA is committed to playing a leading role in building a credible and autonomous European space defence.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
