– EDGE Group entity Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB), a regional leader in the design, construction, repair, maintenance, refit, and conversion of naval and commercial vessels, has signed a strategic partnership agreement with LACROIX, a leading French company in naval decoy systems and countermeasures.
This collaboration focuses on integrating LACROIX's advanced decoy system into ADSB's recently launched FA-400 Fast Attack vessel.
The partnership agreement was signed by David Massey CEO of ADSB and Franois Moulinier, COO of LACROIX at EURONAVAL 2024 Exhibition, being held in Paris until 8 November.
