Harmattan AI and the Kingdom of Morocco Sign Major Strategic Partnership for National Defense
June 17, 2026
Harmattan AI, a next-generation defense prime developing autonomous defense systems, has signed a major strategic partnership with the Royal Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Morocco.
This partnership reflects the Kingdom of Morocco's decision to deploy next-generation autonomous air defense capabilities at scale from 2026 onwards and to build a sovereign, technologically advanced defense industrial base. Harmattan AI will contribute its expertise to support three key objectives:
- Establish manufacturing capabilities in Morocco to produce autonomous defense systems;
- Create an ambitious Research & Development centre dedicated to artificial intelligence in defense systems on Moroccan territory;
- Develop partnerships with Moroccan higher education and research institutions.
"This partnership demonstrates our ability to support sovereign nations in developing their domestic defense industrial base. Morocco has made a strategic choice in favour of strategic autonomy and technological sovereignty, and we are proud to contribute to this ambition. This collaboration represents the foundation of a long-term partnership with Morocco" said Mouad M'Ghari, CEO and co-founder of Harmattan AI.
