IDEX and NAVDEX 2021 Abu Dhabi (UAE)

[Philip the Arab]

Jet engines 100% UAE made

Date: February 22, 2021 The

pavilion of Halcon, one of the companies listed under the UAE Defense Technology Group , attracted attention through the company’s pavilion, which presented a group of jet engines, during the first day of the IDEX exhibition. A woman from the United Arab Emirates, among the group that designed and implemented the jet engines project, she is the mechanical engineer Aisha Salem Al-Numani, one of the workers of Halcon Company and a graduate of the United Arab Emirates University.
Aisha Salem explained that the project consists of jet engines used in launching missiles and planes, and she is one of a team of three engineers, noting that she is one of the implementers of the project, which was completely completed in the Emirates.
She stated that the work team has implemented and designed three types of jet engines, which are designed for missiles and weapons, which need these types of engines, and unmanned aircraft.


She indicated that the idea of the project came with the aim of supplying the UAE defense system, and providing it with powerful engines, and that these engines are the first of their kind in the Middle East, and that the work team aspires to make the UAE the first Arab country to manufacture such advanced engines.


It seems they also bought the Denel Cheetah missile IP? Interesting concept similar to Iron Dome imo.

@JamD it wouldn't surprise me if companies in the UAE start going after engineering graduates in Pakistan.

Yeah that could easily happen, I checked their Linkedin and I saw them pulling some engineers from RSA to develop turbojets over a year ago.

It would depend on how open the Emiratees are about allowing foreign nationals in these places. There's quite a few Pakistani engineers and specialists working in Saudi Arabia (that I know personally).

I saw experts from South Africa working at Halcon on their Linkedin.

Well I'm sure you can image why South Africans and Pakistanis might be treated differently due to realpolitik.

If the UAE moves towards naturalization, this might not be a problem (albeit they'd induct South Asians through a gradual process before they assign them to top security projects). Plus, I don't think our "spymasters" are a threat in terms of industrial espionage or the like; too busy with 9G hybrid warfare.

 

[Philip the Arab]

I have heard these engines are made in the UAE, can't confirm.

@The SC @Gomig-21
Interesting right? This could be a good development for the Egyptian and other navies allied to the UAE.

Is it true what that guy was saying about Halcon that it's only been around for a year? A year and it has already produced all these missiles and missile systems? If that's true, there's hope for almost anyone out there. You still need lots of capital, a lot of capable engineers etc., but to produce all that stuff in a single year is unreal.

It is part of EDGE group..

Saeed Al Mansoori, CEO of HALCON said: “Our focus on smart capabilities continue to deepen as we produce world-class products locally. The HAS-250 is a significant advancement in our quest to equip naval forces with the highest performing cruise missile system. Designed and developed by HALCON in the UAE, this weapon will assist in the active defence of the UAE’s water ways, and build on EDGE’s expanding reputation for being bold, agile, and disruptive.”

HALCON is part of the Missiles & Weapons cluster within EDGE, an advanced technology group for defence that ranks among the top 25 military suppliers in the world.

Not 1 year, a few years and it came from a company called something else but changed forms. Yeah, it takes a lot of capital and engineers which they seem to be able to acquire in large quantities. They have been hiring a lot of ex Denel employees who have worked on past missile projects mainly in the 80s and 90s.

 

[Philip the Arab]

So I found out South African engineers designed a missile based off of the Cheetah missile from Denel.
