Lockheed Martin partners with GCC companies

Lockheed Martin has partnered with four companies operating in Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries to provide instrumentation, calibration, and repair services for its aircraft ground support equipment, as part of its Product Support Provider Network (PSPn).

The four companies are AL TAIF (part of EDGE Group), Mohamed Abdulrahman Al Bahar (Al Bahar), ArabCal, and TLD MEAI (part of Alvest Group). These partnerships aim to improve sustainment operations in the region by reducing turnaround times and costs for the US military and its allies operating in the Gulf.

The PSPn is a network of service providers selected to support specific repair areas and competencies. Together, they form a global network to improve sustainment efforts and mission readiness. By working with local in-country suppliers, the need to ship parts and equipment to the United States is negated, resulting in time and cost savings for the customer. Moreover, these agreements help to drive sustainment funds into regional economies and contribute to diversifying local industrial defense capabilities.

General John Nicholson, Chief executive for Lockheed Martin Middle East, emphasised that speedy repair turnaround times are critical in accelerating mission readiness and saving lives. By delivering sustainment services quickly and affordably, the partnerships ensure that airmen and airwomen can perform their duty while responding to evolving 21st-century threats at a moment’s notice. Pricing agreements for the PSPn are for five-year performance periods.
