UAV Ground Control Station

1. The Ground Control Station has been developed as a part of the UAVOS and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST), Saudi Arabia, R&D collaboration.
   
   The Mobile Command Module is designed to provide:
   
   • Housing for the communication and control equipment
   • Two workplaces for the pilot and the payload operator
   • Omnidirectional antenna for telemetry and communication
   • Omnidirectional antenna for video and data links
   • Support Equipment for the unmanned aerial system (transport module)

1st March 2018 news

Today, at a historic date for the Saudi industry and the Saudi armed forces represented by the Royal Saudi Naval Forces, a huge industrial agreement was announced to manufacture and supply several ships and maritime platforms for the benefit of the Saudi navy and with a 100% national industry. The agreement represented an industrial union composed of:

1- Zamil Advanced Marine Industries Company.
2- AEC Advanced Electronics Company.
3- Saudi Defense Industries Corporation, SADEC.
4- Saudi Technical Development and Investment Company ... TAQNIA technology.



The agreement is a building block of the development of the Saudi defense industry and transferring its responsibility to the private sector to create local sustainability, regional and international competition, and the emptying of the government sector to oversee the quality of projects and set specifications in line with the latest developments and developments of the era.

The products that Al-Zamil will manufacture in cooperation with Technology & Advanced Electronics and SADEC :

HSI 32 boats.
Number: 18
The delivery period for the entire project is 39 months.



COMBATTANTE FS56 class boats
Number to be manufactured: 1 out of 3
Duration: 38 months




GOWIND 2500 Corvette
Number to be locally manufactured: 3 out of 5
Duration: First Corvette 40 months, Second 39 months, Third 38 months.



Floating docks to be locally manufactured FLOATING DOCK with a capacity of 700 tons
Number: 2
Duration: 39 months.



FLOATING PONTOON
Number: 35
Duration: 36 months for the entire project in 3 installments.



All chips will be completed (2020-2024)

BTW..Zamil has localised the Rolls-Royce engine industry and cooperated extensively with CMN.

A project to produce stealth helicopter systems in Saudi Arabia



This project is a research collaboration between the King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology and Arizona State University in the United States

To develop the use of high resistance panels that redirect electromagnetic radiation for purposes of concealment from military radars, as these panels are distinguished by their small size and the possibility of being manufactured in various shapes (cylindrical, axial, spherical, others). This flexible technology, which is able to direct electromagnetic radiation, is one of the pioneering and modern technologies that will constitute a quantum leap in the civilian and military applications that depend on electromagnetic signals.

One of the most important applications that will allow the development of this technology to be used is to reduce the radar footprint of aircraft, helicopters and military equipment by installing them on their model structures, which makes it difficult for radars to capture. This technology also makes it possible to design surface antennas for military use.





Among the goals are to build a plant to produce high-resistance surfaces, surface and flexible wearable antennas, and to train a specialized work team on high-resistance surface technologies, flexible and surface antennas, which will contribute to building national capabilities in this field.

These systems might be be produced for the 150 Saudi Black Hawk helicopters to be manufactured in Saudi Arabia..

And.. Advanced electronics manufactures 40% of the Avionics of Typhoon and will manufacture 80% by 2025, as approved.. It is also the first in the world and the only one to repair Typhoon fighters outside Europe..



Wahaj got the "quality" license. But for manufacturing, there are many companies..
Like KACST and its participation in the transmission of radar technologies and research..

The King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has signed two contracts with Selex Galileo. These contracts include delivery of Selex Galileo’s PicoSAR and cutting edge ESCAN radar technologies for joint research, development and demonstration purposes, and a series of training and industrial participation modules centred around Selex Galileo’s world renowned radar expertise.

It is also good to mention that the Typhoon hydraulic and brake systems, which are one of the most complex systems in the fighter..are being repaired locally in the Kingdom through the Aircraft Supplementary Equipment Company! The kingdom also has a device to check and repair the hydraulic systems of the typhoon fighters; "Test Fox M3500"..
And to be noted.. this advanced device is not owned by some countries that manufacture the Typhoon..



Excellent news that Saudi companies from the private sector have entered military industrialization!!!

 

[The SC]

There is nothing achieved in a blink of the eye.., Saudi Arabia is just shortening the time with transfer of the ready complex technologies and then make the improvements it wants on them

And it has come a long way in the last two years by acquiring the transfer of technologies in awesome quantities and different types in all sectors.., a very great achievement in itself that happened in such a short period of time!!!

So if Saudi Arabia would have gone to direct manufacturing, the time wasted in research and experiments would have taken at least 10-15 years.. And what could be achieved, the industrialized countries would have preceded it with systems 10-15 years ahead..

But the Saudi plan, as the Crown Prince said, "we start from where the others ended".
By owning the best available technologies, then work on the developments as KSA want and raise the rates of localization gradually..including the spare parts and maintenance to reduce the cost of operating the weapon systems in addition to providing job opportunities for citizens..

A good part of the production lines for this large amount of technologies that Saudi Arabia possesses have already started production of drones, boats, radars and many other systems..While most of the production lines entered service between 2021-2023, as officially announced..

Saudi Arabia signed an agreement with Boeing to transfer ammunition technology!
Integration means obtaining the source code, which means that KSA can integrate any munitions it produces..
