The Panther radio system
The Panther System is a radio communication system that uses satellites to transmit information and direct locations between forces.
The Panther system was developed by the French company Thales and produced by the Saudi advanced electronics company ACEL for more than 14 years..
Panther system features
- Frequency range from 30 to 108 MHz: The VHF band ensures a wide coverage range for sending and receiving data during military operations.
- High-level digital encryption: It is the encryption of data and information during transmission and reception operations to ensure its integrity
- Rapid hopping activation: The ability to change the frequency of the radio signal carrier very quickly during military operations
The system is characterized by instant communication and accurate and fully encrypted site transfer, and it can be used due to its light weight and ease of transport in several applications:
1- Vehicles.
2- Ships.
3- It is carried on the back.
4- In fixed or mobile controls and sites

Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) has signed an agreement to set up a joint venture with US firm Lockheed Martin to enhance the kingdom’s defence and manufacturing capabilities, the state-owned Saudi company said on Sunday.
SAMI, which is owned by the Saudi state’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), will own 51 percent of the venture..
“The new agreement will develop localized capabilities by transferring technology and knowledge, and by training a Saudi workforce in manufacturing products for, and providing services to, the Saudi armed forces,” the statement said.
Lockheed Martin in involved in a project to install a $15 billion missile defense system in Saudi Arabia, part of a $110 billion arms package the administration of former President Donald Trump said it negotiated with the kingdom in 2017.

BIHO II advanced air-defense system
The Biho II revolves around a modular turret, which can mount a 3D radar, an electro-optical sensor, and an additional tracking radar. From marketing materials, the tracking radar appears to be for “C-RAM,” or shooting at unguided artillery projectiles that may be too small or fast to be picked up on electro-optical sensors. All of the sensors and their mounts are meant to be modular on the Biho II, with different configurations for different roles being possible, including radar or EOTS-only turrets.
The new turret also appears to be designed to accommodate a variety of guns. Slides about the Biho II suggest that it could mount 30mm, 35mm, or 40mm guns depending on customer preference. The missile fit of the Biho II is also designed to be modular, with short-range SAMs, medium-range SAMs, and even anti-tank missiles presented as options that could be mounted to either side of the turret in pods. One configuration shows the Biho II system as a tracked vehicle mounting two quad-packs of AIM-9X anti-air missiles.

Owning this system alone is a very strong plus.. Let alone its manufacture .. it provides short - medium and medium+ ranges..

New JV and Strategic Partnership between the Saudi Advanced Technologies Company (Wahaj) and ELSEL for ELSEL LIVET RCWS development..
ELSEL “LIVET” Remotely Controlled Dual Weapons System
The Light Vehicular Turret (LIVET) is designed and manufactured by ELSEL s.r.l., an Italian company with 30+ years of experience in the defense sector. LIVET is the only product of this type purposely designed to be very open to customization and upgrade, so it can easily accept any type of payload at customer choice (obviously within some weight and recoil limit). It is primarily designed for use on light wheeled or tracked combat vehicles, fast attack boats and other platforms requiring improved offensive capabilities. It can also be easily networked for use in centralized static installations, e.g. to protect sensitive sites or for border surveillance.
The fire control system allows engagement of targets by day and night; the electrical, fully digital servo systems and the primarily stabilized line of fire (2 axes), ensure a high accuracy of fire, also on the move, while keeping the gunner safe and secure within the vehicle.
Despite of its low weight (less than 160kg) and size, it’s able to mount two medium caliber weapons for maximum firepower (e.g. both a .50MG and a 40AGL), providing also light vehicles with the capability to effectively engage lightly armored targets.
The wide variety of installable weapons makes it a standard choice for a full range of vehicles/platforms with different mission profiles like surveillance, patrolling in urban environment, border security, counter-sniper and asymmetric missions. Typical combinations are:
• .50MG +40AGL to engage armoured vehicles
• .50MG + 7.62 to engage troops
• 2x.50MG for high fire volume (e.g. against low flying helicopters)
• 2x.50 MG with different ammo (e.g. Ball and AP)
Also rockets, missiles or other equipment’s can be installed for more specialized missions, always using the same base components to reduce maintenance, spare parts and logistics overhead.
Lightweight and simplicity allow its installation also on light tactical or utility vehicles;the installation takes less than one hour to a non-skilled engineer: only few screws, three electrical cables among the unit and a cable to the vehicle battery. No other interface with the vehicle is required.
Due to all these characteristics, LIVET represents the baseline for a common armament platform to be used with different weapons across a variety of vehicles, allowing the customer to reduce the total ownership cost.
This product has successfully passed both the qualification tests and the firing test andnow is going to be sampled to selected customers.
Finally, all the components are ITAR/EAR free so there are no special export restrictions.
