Saudi industrial workshare in the licence-produced Jais 4x4 MRAP vehicle stands at 60%.
State-owned Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) unveiled a new version of the Jais 4x4 mine-resistant ambush-protected (MRAP) vehicle that it is producing under licence from United Arab Emirates-based NIMR.
The new version of Jais, as seen by Shephard on 7 March at the World Defense Show in Riyadh, is equipped with a SAMI-CMI Roaya remote weapon station (RWS), which a company representative said is a version of the John Cockerill CPWS turret.
The Jais 4x4 MRAP is based on the RG35 vehicle that was developed in South Africa by Land Systems OMC, a subsidiary of BAE Systems.
