Rotron Aerospace has signed a Memorandum of Understanding with LIG Nex1 to collaborate on the development and integration of unmanned aerial systems, including work linked to the Medium UAV Common Platform (MUCP) programme.
The agreement was signed at Rotron’s facility in Dorset and covers cooperation until 2032. It includes potential follow-on projects and opportunities in South Korea and international programmes involving Rotron’s propulsion systems and unmanned platforms.
Under the MoU, the companies plan to combine Rotron’s propulsion technologies with LIG Nex1’s system architecture, integration and testing expertise.
Gilo Cardozo, CTO and Founder of Rotron Aerospace, said:
“Rotron is proud to partner with LIG Nex1, a company whose reputation for defence excellence is known worldwide. This agreement reflects our commitment to delivering high performance propulsion and aviation systems that enhance the capability, reliability, and operational reach of next generation unmanned platforms. Together, we will bring forward innovative solutions that support both national and allied defence requirements.”

“LIG Nex1 looks forward to a strong and mutually beneficial collaboration with Rotron Aerospace. By combining our experience in integrated system development with Rotron’s leading propulsion technologies, we aim to advance the Medium UAV Common Platform and expand opportunities for both domestic Republic of Korea programmes and international exports.”
Both companies expect rising global demand for unmanned systems to create opportunities for joint development and potential export of future UAV capabilities.
