UK defence technology company, Chess Dynamics, has entered a strategic partnership with defence procurement company, High-Tech AJ, to provide Thailand’s defence industry with access to innovative defence technology in the land and maritime domains.

Thailand as a strategic Indo-Pacific ally
David Tuddenham, Chess Group managing director, said: “We strongly believe that defence leaders across the world should have access to the very best technologies and engineering excellence and we’re delighted to have found the ideal partner to bring our solutions directly to the Thai market.”
With tensions increasing across the Indo-Pacific, Thailand is best-placed to forge relations with Euro-Atlantic countries that are currently mobilising and reaching out to support new strategic allies in this region.
“The security and prosperity of the Euro-Atlantic will remain our core priority, bolstered by a reinvigoration of our European relationships.
“But that cannot be separated from our wider neighbourhood on the periphery of our continent and a free and open Indo-Pacific. We will deepen relationships, support sustainable development and poverty alleviation, and tackle shared challenges including climate change,” the UK Integrated Review Refresh states.
“Chess has been operating for 30 years and, in that time, we have developed class leading fire control, targeting and surveillance solutions that deliver advanced capabilities to armed forces around the world,” Tuddenham added.
These new solutions will equip Thailand’s Armed Forces with critical technologies that will prove useful to efforts to preserve a free and open Indo-Pacific from a highly strategic location.
