MUMBAI, INDIA: Indian IT services firm Mahindra Satyam today announced that it has entered into a tie-up with defence and security company SAAB to develop its operations in India for the global defence and the homeland security market.

Mahindra Satyam and SAAB have already initiated the setup of a Centre of Excellence for Network Centric Warfare (CoECoE–NCW), which will offer comprehensive skills and repository of tools, system, middleware, integration platforms and system showcases in the field of NCW, said a press release.

This will be a development centre for mission-critical applications and C4I (Command, Control, Communications, Computers, and Intelligence) solutions for global opportunities accessible to either of the partners.

Though the financials of the deal were not announced according to an Economic Times report, the deal is worth $400 million.
