In order to increase the NAF’s operational capability, the engagement with renowned Qatari defense corporation Barzan Holdings was centered on utilizing cutting-edge technologies and cultivating alliances.
To meet the changing needs of airpower in national security, the talks focused on important topics such technology transfer and the purchase of cutting-edge defense systems. Strengthening the NAF’s core competencies through innovation, cooperation, and international relationships is in line with Air Marshal Abubakar’s goal.
