CMD, an Italian maker of propulsion systems owned by the EDGE Group, has signed a memorandum of understanding with uncrewed systems developer UFORCE to look at working together on uncrewed surface vessels, EDGE announced on 5 November.
The agreement includes a possible joint venture to sell, produce and distribute marine engines, develop new ones, and provide maintenance, repair and overhaul. CMD co-founder and chief commercial officer Giorgio Negri and UFORCE chief executive Oleg Rogynskyy signed it at the EDGE Europe office in Paris.
EDGE said the deal supports the plans it set out for CMD when it took a controlling stake in October 2026, to expand CMD's manufacturing and research.
