The new enhanced partnership reinforces both companies’ commitment to advancing national security and technological innovation in the region.
Paul MacGregor, MD of Roke, said: “Japan represents a key strategic market for Roke and this partnership allows us to deliver greater value to Japanese defence and security stakeholders through localised support and expanded access to our technologies.

Masayoshi Yamazaki, President of Kaigai Corporation said: “This partnership marks a pivotal step in our mission to bring world-class defence technologies to Japan.
“Roke’s proven expertise and innovative capabilities align perfectly with our vision for a safer, more secure future.”
The expanded partnership will also include knowledge exchange programmes and enhanced technical support to ensure seamless integration of Roke’s solutions into Japan’s defence infrastructure.
