UMS SKELDAR, the newly formed joint business between Saab and UMS AERO Group launches its combined unmanned aerial vehicle (UAVs) at Singapore Airshow, as the springboard for its ambition to become the number one choice in the global mid-range UAV market. Backed by a highly active research and development programme, UMS SKELDAR brings together four platforms including the SKELDAR V-200 to create Europe’s most versatile UAVs for the global military, defence and civil security sectors. The company will showcase the new line-up at the Singapore Airshow 16-21 February. UMS SKELDAR will display its platforms and solutions alongside CWT at stand number D87. In conjunction with its regional partner CWT, South East Asia’s largest logistics business, and on the back of contracts agreed with governments in Singapore, Indonesia, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, the company has declared Asia-Pacific and Mideast as priority regions for growth. “The strategic importance of the region to us made Singapore a natural choice for the world launch platform of our unrivalled line-up of platforms, systems and managed services. South East Asia will be pivotal and our relationship with CWT as our exclusive strategic partner plays a crucial role in the development of our market share,” according to Jacob Baumann, former two-star general in the Swiss military and CEO of UMS SKELDAR. The highly targeted business development strategy is spearheaded by David Willems, aviation business specialist and Head of Marketing and Sales, together with former senior RAF officer and regional business development head George Duncan, responsible for Asia Pacific and Mideast markets. “The formation of UMS SKELDAR through Saab and UMS AERO has truly propelled the business into a global and expanding market. With a strong customer base and pipeline of strong prospective contracts, we’re looking forward to the Singapore Airshow to be able display our total solutions packages,” explains David Willems. UMS SKELDAR brings together the four platforms to create Europe’s only provider of high endurance vertical take-off (VTOL) and fixed wing UAVs, across the 3-12+ hour endurance range:
