BAE Systems has also been involved in orchestrating the establishment of new industries in the kingdom through an economic offset programme since 1985. The latest memorandum of understanding involves UK support for the development of a regional defence centre of excellence.
Unlike US and French defence procurement arrangements with the kingdom, the Al Yamamah deals though have not included offset contractual obligations. BAE Systems as the prime UK contractor has undertaken to use its best endeavours to achieve investment targets. Whether or not this will be sufficient in future remains to be seen, since the proposal to build Typhoon aircraft in the kingdom raises any new deal to a whole new level.
