Al Tariq guidance kit​

Al Tariq is a family of precision-guided munitions kits that turn standard aerial bombs into high-precision smart weapons. These kits are designed for compatibility with a range of bomb sizes, namely the 120 kg, 250 kg and 450 kg series.

A key feature of the Al Tariq system is its ability to operate efficiently in GPS-free environments. One of the standout aspects of the Al Tariq system is the dual-mode search technology. This includes an infrared imaging detector (IIR) with automatic target recognition (ATR) capabilities, a laser detector (SAL) and GPS/GNSS support. This combination enables high-precision targeting in all weather conditions, both day and night. The system is designed for long distances, with the standard range variant (Al Tariq S) capable of engaging targets from 30 to 45 kilometers away and the long-range variant (Al Tariq LR) exceeding 120 kilometers. This long-range capability, combined with fire and forget technology, makes the Al Tariq capable of engaging stationary and moving targets.

In terms of integration and development, the Al Tariq system is distinguished by its modularity and ease of use. It can be wirelessly integrated with various types of fighter jets, offering both digital and autonomous options. This flexibility is enhanced by features such as variable angles of attack (up to 90 degrees), retargeting capability and integration of mechanical and electronic fuses. Source.

The UAE Ministry of Defense concludes a deal with #Edge to purchase the MANSUP and MANSUP-ER naval missile system at a value of 1.102 billion UAE dirhams, which embodies Edge’s successful strategy..

The UAE and Saudi Arabia and will receive enhanced missile air defense systems (M-SAM Block-II)

Before the deal, they demanded a powerful radar (MFR) for the M-SAM-II. We need a powerful medium-sized radar. You must detect ballistic missiles and small drones.
It has to work with the harsh environment of the desert and it has to work for a very long time and we have comprehensive solutions to the world's most advanced next generation element levels that Includes full digital radar, GaN AESA radar and more. But it will take extra time and cost even though it is based on FFG-III, L-SAM-I, M-SAM-III, KDDX and LAMD-I.

The UAE promised huge sums of money to cover the cost of development afterwards. It is said to have successfully intercepted ballistic missiles in the UAE and these two countries are keenly interested in integrating the L-SAM-I and L-SAM-II strategic air defense system as well. Moreover, an office of the Korean Secret Weapons Agency has been established in the UAE for the first time.

At the Dubai Airshow 2013, which was held in November, UAE based company ADCOM Systems which specializes in Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) unveiled its “NAVY UAV”. This new UAV project is designed specifically for Anti-Submarine Warfare (ASW). This makes it the world’s first fixed wing UAV project dedicated to ASW missions..

ADCOM's NAVY UAV is based on the existing United 40 Block 5
The Navy UAV is based on ADCOM’s existing UNITED 40 block 5, a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) UAV. The Navy UAV has a wingspan of 17.53 meters and a length of 11.13 meters. Its payload capacity is 1050 kg (2315 lb). Its glider-like, high aspect ratio wings and dual engine set up allows for endurance in excess of 100 hours..

ADCOM's NAVY UAV would be the first fixed wing UAV dedicated to ASW missions
According to ADCOM, the Navy UAV would detect submarines through the use of sonobuoys. The ASW UAV is expected to carry a maximum of two torpedoes and would detect and attack submarines autonomously or with live control from an operator depending on the mission and flight plan.

The aircraft has the ability to deploy sonar buoys similar to this:

It launches from internal sea containers and begins its work to detect enemy submarines. As soon as the sensors pick up the target, this plane bombs it with powerful and highly destructive (air-to-sea) torpedoes.

This aircraft, designated for the Navy, can operate independently in its missions (meaning that it detects its target using sonar buoys, targets it with torpedoes, and destroys it, on its own, without the need for other supporting platforms..)

The torpedoes are Italian-made (WASS, a subsidiary of the famous Finmeccanica company), they are called Fleshback or Whitehead A2445, and they are classified as lightweight torpedoes.

ADCOM Systems is providing the torpedoes with wings to increase their range to approximately 50 km.. This was confirmed by an official from Italy's Whitehead Alenia Sistemi Subacquei, who said that Adcom is developing a detachable wing for either the Whitehead A2445 or Fleshback torpedoes, both of which weigh about 300 kg. The wings will enable high-altitude attack and give the torpedo a range of about 50 km..

There is an interesting part in it, which is that the company ADCOM Systems is working on making its own torpedoes..

Emirati Yabhun NSR drone, hunter of enemy drones

The Yabhoun NSR aircraft, a hunter of enemy drones, is distinguished by its high performance and distinguished maneuvering ability. Its goal is to engage enemy drones using an advanced fixed tracking platform (Advanced Stabilized Platform) that allows it to carry out automatic tracking and image recognition (Image Recognition). Direct navigation towards its goals.

The NSR Yabhun takes off with an airborne range estimated at one hour (60 minutes) and has image tracking technology. Once it identifies and matches its target, it rams its target and detonates it in a way of a kamikaze drone.

ADCOM is a diversified group of companies specialized in manufacturing drones, air surveillance radar systems, and advanced communications systems. The group was established 23 years ago and today it consists of 20 companies and its headquarters are in the Musaffah Industrial Area (ICAD) in the Musaffah area in Abu Dhabi.

Yabhon-GRN1-GRN2

The GRN-2 is an enlarged version of the GRN-1.

The maximum speed of the GRN-2 is 930 km/h and the other GRN-1 up to 1000 km/h

Their maximum altitude is 9 km for GRN-2 and 11 km for GRN-1.

Their ability to stay in the air up to 1.5 hours, for GRN-1 and GRN-2 up to 2 hours..

It is launched by a catapult and does not require launch boosters.

*It is distinguished by its ability to act as an anti-ship missile thanks to its ability to fly at a very low altitude.

*It can also act as a ballistic missile with its ability to dive at high speed.

In addition to representing a target for air defense and air force..
