RIYADH: The General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI) announced today the signing of a contract with the Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI) for the development and manufacturing of the “SkyGuard” unmanne aerial vhiecle (UAV).
SAMI also signed an agreement with Prince Sultan Defense Studies and Science Research Center (PSDSARC), with the objective of further developing the UAV.
“SkyGuard” is “the outcome of numerous R&D efforts, undertaken by the center and geared towards developing a truly local product”, it said, as the Kindom plans to supply half of its military needs with products made at home.
