Vancouver, BC – March 2026 — CURRENT Scientific Corporation, a Canadian manufacturer of advanced electro-optical infrared (EO/IR) camera systems, is pleased to announce the appointment of Energy Driven Systems Trading LLC (EDS) as a Certified Service and Installation Partner for the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.
Under the agreement, EDS will deliver installation, commissioning, maintenance, and technical support across the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. The partnership enhances CURRENT’s ability to provide responsive, in-region lifecycle support as demand for maritime surveillance, counter-UAS capabilities, and autonomous systems continues to grow across the GCC.
Strengthening Regional Support
As regional maritime activity and critical infrastructure operations continue to intensify across the UAE and wider GCC, dependable in‑country installation and lifecycle support has become increasingly essential. This partnership strengthens CURRENT’s long-term commitment to the Middle East and enhances local support capabilities for counter-UAS operations, unmanned and autonomous surface vessels, naval, coast guard, commercial marine, and critical infrastructure customers operating in the region.
“This partnership represents a significant step in deepening our operational footprint in the Middle East,” said Greg Menzies, President of CURRENT. “Our systems are built for mission-critical applications — supporting emerging regional requirements for counter-UAS surveillance, USV and autonomous vessel operations. Having certified, technically trained support within the region ensures our customers receive the highest level of performance and reliability throughout the lifecycle of their systems.”
By expanding certified service capacity within the GCC, CURRENT enhances its ability to deliver rapid response times, streamlined logistics, and localized technical support — critical factors in mission-critical maritime environments. This added regional capability also helps support customers deploying EO/IR systems as part of integrated counter-drone architectures and autonomous platform operations.
A Long-Term Regional Strategy
This announcement builds on CURRENT’s broader regional growth strategy, including recent leadership appointments focused on Middle East expansion. Together, these initiatives reinforce CURRENT’s dedication to establishing strong, long-term partnerships throughout the region.
EDS is headquartered in Dubai Investments Park, UAE, and brings strong regional operational capability and infrastructure to support installation and service activities within the GCC.
“Our goal is simple,” added Menzies. “Deliver world-class technology backed by world-class support wherever our customers operate. As defence and security programs across the GCC continue to prioritize counter-UAS readiness, autonomous systems, CURRENT is committed to ensuring customers in the region have both the technology and the in-country support needed to succeed.”
