Interest in Saudi Arabia to develop indigenous C-UAS technology comes as no surprise, given the general industry trend in this direction and the specific threat posed to the country by Iran-backed Houthi rebels in Yemen.
In this context, Saudi Arabian companies displayed two new C-UAS systems at the World Defense Show 2022 in Riyadh on 6-9 March.
Both systems follow similar principles but include different sensors and weapons integration.
The Prince Sultan Defense Studies & Research Center, which is part of the Saudi MoD, displayed a system called Nation Shield that integrates various sensor components with a C2 station.
