Riyadh: In collaboration with the Ministry of Defense and the support of the General Authority for Military Industries (GAMI), Saudi Arabian Military Industries (SAMI), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Public Investment Fund (PIF), is excited to announce its recent efforts to strengthening the Saudi defense industry by opening a new production line dedicated to software-defined multi-band radio (SDR) systems.
This production line, in collaboration with L3Harris Technologies and SAMIL3Harris Joint Venture, has been established at SAMI-AEC, a decades-long national leader in electronic manufacturing capabilities, which will manufacture these industry-leading radio systems locally in Riyadh.
Eng.Walid A.

SAMI is committed to providing cutting-edge technology while growing and developing local talent and capabilities.”
Eng Ziad Al-Musalam, CEO of SAMI-AEC, reiterated the company’s unwavering commitment to strengthening the Saudi defense manufacturing landscape through strategic alliances, with plans to expand this collaboration. This approach aligns seamlessly with our vision of indigenous technologies tailored to the defense sector.
