Terma And Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services Sign Teaming AgreementTerma
and Kongsberg Aviation Maintenance Services (KAMS) have executed a
Teaming Agreement reflecting the companies’ plans to cooperate on
military Aviation Maintenance Services (AMS) in Denmark.
The high
defense needs and increasing investments in the sector have made a
closer Nordic defense cooperation a key priority for both governments
and industry. The similarity of aircraft that Denmark and Norway are
operating enable Terma and KAMS to cooperate and offer AMS in Denmark,
complimenting the Danish Defence’ own capabilities.
While Terma
has a long history of cooperation with the Danish Defence, e.g. within
the aeronautics domain, KAMS has extensive experience providing AMS as
an embedded partner to the Norwegian Air Force.
“Local
competencies within aircraft maintenance services are important for
ensuring operational readiness. Through our cooperation with KAMS, we
believe we can support the Danish Defence within AMS by sharing best
practices, insights, and investments between our two countries. Terma
has extensive experience within service, support, and maintenance – for
example from our radars that are placed across the globe - so we view
AMS as a natural addition to the areas we are already specialized in,”
states Steen Lynenskjold, Executive Vice President at Terma Group.
Kongsberg
Defence and Aerospace states that they are extremely pleased with this
concrete step towards closer cooperation between the two companies.
According to Kongsberg, the strengths, experience, and competence of
KAMS and Terma will enable the team to provide effective and efficient
maintenance services to the Danish Defence.
“This
cooperation reflects the commitment described in our company-level MOU
to work closely together to provide defense systems, services, and
capabilities in support of our customer needs. We continue to look for
areas where our companies are stronger together and can provide better
solutions based on this partnership,” says Pamela Willgohs, Senior Vice
President of Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace.airport
