The facility is located approximately one hour from Abu Dhabi , the capital of UAE. Al Dhafra Air Base hosts the UAE Air Force, United States Air Force and U.K. Royal Air Force.
"ST Electronics is a powerful partner for us in this region and we are working together with them to build a sales and distribution model that will expedite the delivery QRSciences' products into the markets where they have strength," said QRSciences' CEO Mr. Kevin Russeth .
