Tawazun to showcase UAE defence technology overseas
The strategic defence investment company Tawazun will this year display local defence technology overseas.
The company, launched in 2007, will show locally developed weapons and defence technology in the US, Brazil, France and the Far East.
“Entering any defence market with such products is not easy but people have started to see UAE-made products as proof that Emiratis are capable of entering any market and our portfolio speaks for itself,” said Saif Al Marzooqi, Tawazun’s associate corporate communications director.
Mr Al Marzooqi was speaking on a tour of the five factories at Tawazun Industrial Park on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi yesterday.
The five subsidiaries owned by Tawazun make airframes for Airbuses, guns and ammunition for armed and police forces in the UAE, Italy and across the GCC, and motor vehicles for the Algerian armed forces.
Mr Al Marzooqi said most of the workforce was Emirati, including the design and development team.
“Fifty five per cent of our team is Emirati and we present them with work-study programmes that combine rigorous education, training and on-the-job work experience, as well as the Daylight programme that enables UAE women to develop key skills for employment and trains them in basic engineering skills,” he said.
The target is to provide UAE nationals with the proper education to meet the needs of the emerging industries in the UAE.
Emirati designs include the TSR rifle, considered one of the most advanced sniper weapons in today’s market, said Sultan Al Aouda, deputy general manager of Tawazun Advanced Defence Systems.
“The rifle is 100 per cent fully Emirati-designed and developed,” he said. “We designed it based on the requirements given to us by the UAE Armed Forces.”
The period from development to the delivery of the 2,800-metre range rifle was only nine months, Mr Al Aouda said.
The weapon, which comes in two versions, has four unique patents within its design.
It is equipped with a shock absorber in the shoulder mount and a design to increase accuracy.
Another subsidiary that produces UAE-developed weapons is Caracal. More than 50,000 handguns and rifles are produced every year by Caracal and are used locally and across the GCC.
“We export our guns to the Italian police force as well as to the US consumer market,” said Salem Al Matroushi, chief executive of Caracal.
Caracal’s assembly line includes 18 Emirati women.
Ammunition for the guns is developed by Caracal Light Ammunitions (CLA), which makes more than 10 million Nato-standard bullets of various calibre, said Mohammed Al Ghafli, CLA’s general manager.
“We have over 50 Emiratis currently working in the factory and we will be shortly adding another 110 during this year,” said Mr Al Ghafli.
Many of the recruits are non-graduates who were trained in-house.
The parts for all of the weapons and tools used to make them are developed and made at Tawazun Precision Industries (TPI).
“Apart from guns and rifle components such as barrels, we develop oil and gas materials and aerospace parts,” said Majid Al Shamsi, sales manager for TPI Aerospace.
“We develop airframes for Airbus as well as parts for Boeing aircraft.”
Stewart Jones, TPI’s defence business unit manager, said the company was working closely with local universities to develop the next generation of industrial leaders.

In 2009, Burkan and Roketsan signed a collaboration agreement worth around 70 million $ for munition system as well. With the contract signed between Roketsan and Burkan Munition Systems (BMS), a joint production venture was formed. Roketsan and BMS will co-produce 107 and 122 mm artillery rockets in the scope of the production programme of this contract.

Roketsan Manager Baysak: Roketsan has established close relationship with UAE since early of 2000s. We have signed contracts concerning 122 mm artillery rocket sales and modernization of the weapon systems in the inventory of UAE. These contracts have been completed last year with the final deliveries.
Roketsan’s superior performance in these projects brought consequent projects with UAE. Roketsan and Al Jaber Group started to design a completely new and different weapon system for a Gulf country with an agreement signed in IDEX 2009. We can easily say that this new system is an unprecedented weapon system.
The mentioned system is Kasirga-G 300mm guided artillery rocket system. UAE became a partner of this program and Both country is working on those missiles at present.
We expect to see the final missile systems in IDEF-2013.

The on-going efforts of MBDA to expand the capabilities of its anti-ship missiles could reach an important milestone in the coming months through a potential partnership in the Middle East.
During the European consortium's 2012 results conference in Rome on 22 March, Antonio Perfetti, managing director of the MBDA's Italian branch and executive group director sales and business development, revealed that a Middle Eastern country is interested in the joint development of a Marte ER (extended range) version.
"The growth potential of [the] Marte anti-ship missile family has attracted the interest of a Arabian Gulf industrial partner, looking to jointly develop the new extended-range version of the family," said Perfetti.
While he declined to provide further detail, Flightglobal understands that the United Arab Emirates is the nation interested in a joint development of the new version, and that subsidiaries of state-owned investment company Tawazun Holding are to be involved in the programme.
Tawazun Precision Industries entered into an agreement with MBDA during the 2011 IDEX exhibition in Abu Dhabi to manufacture various components for the Marte family. The company produces the newly developed canister for the Mk2/N ship-launched version of the missile. This is part of the equipment of the UAE naval forces' Ghannatha fast boat, the first of which was recently delivered.
Tawazun Precision Industries also inked a supply agreement with Selex ES at the 2013 IDEX exhibition in February to manufacture various components for the Finmeccanica subsidiary's RF seekers, a key component in the MBDA Italy Marte/Otomat anti-ship missile family.
The Marte ER is planned to operate at ranges in excess of 100km (54nm) and be capable of being carried by medium-to-heavy helicopters. But it should also be possible to launch the equipment from fixed-wing combat and maritime patrol aircraft, have comparable life cycle costs to the current version and offer growth potential, including a man-in-the-loop and land attack strike with a heavier warhead.
MBDA Italy has already completed ground fitting-out trials of a Marte ER maquette with the Eurofighter Typhoon.
Aside from the extended range and naval (Mk2/N) versions, the Marte missile family includes the helicopter-based (Mk2/S) and aircraft-launched (Mk2/A) models. A dummy version of the latter has previously been dropped from an Airbus Military C295 maritime patrol aircraft.

Jobaria
The Jobaria (monster) is the most powerful 122-mm artillery rocket system ever built. This multiple launch rocket system has been developed in by United Arab Emirates in cooperation with Roketsan of Turkey to meet the UAE requirement. However final assembly of this system takes place in the UAE. The main goal was to put one battery of rocket launchers on one vehicle. This new multiple launch rocket system was first revealed in 2013 during IDEX exhibition held in Abu Dhabi. United Arab Emirates have received an undisclosed number of these artillery systems already.
The Jobaria MLRS consists of Oshkosh 6x6 heavy equipment transporter, towing a 10-wheel semi-trailer with 4 power rocket launchers. Each launcher has three pods with 20 rockets each. This rocket system carries a total of 240 122-mm rockets. A single Jobaria system replaces a full battery of rocket launchers mounted on 6 trucks with a crew of 30 men. Rockets have a maximum range of 37 km. A full salvo covers an area of 4 km².
Rockets are stored and launched from pods for rapid reloading and interchangeability of various calibers. Some sources claim that Jobaria is also capable of launching a total of 240 107-mm rockets, with a maximum range of about 11 km. Alternatively it can launch 16 TR-300 300-mm rockets with a maximum range of up to 100 km.
This artillery system is operated by a crew of three. Crew members are seated inside and operate from protected cab. It's armor provides protection from small arms fire and artillery shell splinters. The cab also has NBC protection system. This artillery system is aimed and launches all it's rockets without crew leaving the vehicle.
The truck for this rocket system is supplied by Oshkosh. Vehicle is fitted with a central tyre inflation system. The trailer with rocket launchers is manufactured in the UAE. The Jobaria is fitted with auxiliary power unit. It allows this rocket system can operate with the truck engine turned off. It seems though that this new MLRS has limited mobility over desert terrain. It is most suited for operation from hard surface roads.
This new multiple launch rocket system is supported by a dedicated resupply vehicle, which carries a full set of reloads and is fitted with two cranes. Each crane replenishes two rocket launchers. Reloading takes about 30 minutes.
There is also a lighter Mini Jobaria, based on the Nimr 6x6 vehicle. It carries two pods with a total of 107-mm rockets.
