US-UAE Business Council

Initiatives

Aerospace & Defense

It is in the national and economic security interests of the United States to continue strengthening the U.S.-U.A.E. defense relationship. The Business Council will work to highlight and discuss various foreign disclosure release issues and will advocate on behalf of industry for the release and sale to the U.A.E. of next generation aircraft, air and defense missile systems; as well as cutting edge ISR and intelligence capabilities.  The Business Council will also partner with the U.S. National Defense Industrial Association (NDIA) to lead a defense trade mission to the U.A.E. on October 2nd-7th 2010, designed to introduce new opportunities for cooperation to small and medium sized American companies in the defense sector.
