Mike Kahn, president of Orbital ATK’s defense systems group, said that company seeks to reinforce its commitment to UAE through partnership with local businesses.
“Orbital ATK has supported our Emirati ally for many years,†Kahn added.
Jay Huxton will serve as general manager of the defense venture in Abu Dhabi and aims to apply previous experience at various Middle East-based companies to his new role.
