KSA was already involved in this project..a unique AI powered stealth combat drone ACE ONE..



It is noteworthy that the creation of this ambitious project was worked on by "25 of the best Ukrainian scientists and specialists in the field of space" led by the former General Director of Antonov Oleksandr Los and the former head of the Ukrainian State Space Agency Volodymyr Usov.

According to the developers, the super-fast combat aircraft, equipped with stealth technology and "squadron capabilities", is capable of carrying weapons weighing up to 1 ton in the internal compartments.

The developers mention that the combat drone was developed in partnership with the best companies of Ukraine, such as SE "Ivchenko-Progress", JSC "Motor Sich" and "Hydrobest" LLC.

Dimensions: length 8 meters, width 11 meters
weight: (maximum take-off weight 7.5 tons)
Speed: 0.95. mach..
And according to the calculations of Ukrainian designers, the UAV will have a combat radius of 1500 km and a flight altitude of 13.5 km.




The ACE ONE is equipped with a powerful jet engine (AL-322F turbofan)

Electronic Warfare Data Management System for the Royal Saudi Naval Forces

Electronic Warfare Data Management describes the capability to:

• Manage and edit source material
• Maintain an analysed electronic warfare reference data set, known as the 'golden view'
• Answer queries and create mission-specific EW data products
• Create a position of information advantage through understanding the kill chain.

Electronic warfare data and intelligence are critical to the operational effectiveness of modern military platforms and weapon systems, and are central to enhancing your Electronic Warfare Operational Support (EWOS) capability.

However, intelligence and electronic warfare systems are growing in diversity and sophistication, with new sensor technologies continually generating large, complex data sets. It is essential that the right intelligence is made available to provide accurate situational awareness.

Managing electronic warfare data and organizing collected intelligence into a single repository supports the operational decision-maker, and is crucial for effective platform and weapon system operations.



To meet the multiple needs of the Royal Saudi Naval Forces in obtaining the Electronic Warfare Data Management System as a contribution from the King Abdul Aziz City of Science and Technology In achieving the goals of Vision 2030 by localizing more than 50% of military spending by 2030,

A team from the city developed EWDMS “Da'am or Support” in continuous coordination with the Royal Saudi Naval Forces to provide an integrated system to connect the eastern and western fleets Led by the Naval Forces in the city of Riyadh, and to contribute to building a unified and comprehensive database, to be accessed securely from the various branches of the Navy.

Most notable achievements:

- Develop, test and install a new, integrated version of the system (support 2)
In the Royal Saudi Naval Forces.

- Completing the collection of requirements for (support 3) from the user, the Royal Saudi Naval Forces. In fact an upgraded version of "DA'AM 3" has already been installed..

- Holding a training workshop to take advantage of the advantages provided by the system.
