KADDB is a Jordanian defense company that has quickly climbed up in terms of exports in the region. This is what I assume the largest regional defense company in terms of revenue.
Jadara MANPADS- The mission statement of Jadara is to be one of the leading companies in the region for development and production of Defense systems in the region especially in the field of Shoulder Launched short range weapon systems. Jadara is currently manufacturing the RPG-32, and Jadara Terminator ATGM so now I think the next step is to start manufacturing MANPADS with foreign help from South Africa, Pakistan, China, Russia, or Ukraine. By manufacturing MANPADS they can replace their current stocks, and export the MANPADS to regional countries and expand their technological expertise. Personally I think the best option would be South Africa, they recently started manufacturing their A-Darter which has a very modern seeker that would really help and could be the start of a JV between the two which could be beneficial and the control system could be manufactured by South Africa. The other components such as sustainer motor, launch motor, tailfins, and warhead can easily be reverse-engineered from say the FIM-92 which Jordan operates because they lack complex components.
JLVM Conventional 8x8- Mission, to manufacture and sell high quality protected and special purpose light vehicles and their components for law enforcement, security and civilian markets worldwide fulfilling customer’s requirements. My personal hope is that they will work on a conventional 8x8 like the Otokar Arma or type vehicle that would better suit the Jordanian army then their current MRAP type vehicles. Recently Ukraine has stated they would like to cooperate with KADDB on an armored vehicle JV. If Jordan could produce the BTR-4 under license from Ukraine which I know is achievable considering the amount of experience JLVM has I'm sure they could achieve this. This would help the JAF considerably with an APC/IFV that are pretty comparable to modern ones and could replace aging Ratels in service.
JAWS Developing JAR line- Mission, Enhance National Firearms capabilities and provide proper tactical solutions with premium quality standard. Technically support and upgrade firearms within Jordan Armed Forces and Security Agencies. The JAR line is a line of assault rifles of varying barrel lengths that are based off of the AR-15 platform the variants are Carbine, Infantry, and Sniper rifle. I would like to see an Sub-machine gun, General-purpose machine gun, and a shotgun variant developed and standardized in the Jordanian Armed forces.
20 inch barrel.

11.5 inch barrel
JorAmmo Developing bigger ammo line- Mission, Group’s Arms and Ammunition Cluster that was founded to produce different types of ammunition as well as to provide related storage facilities. JORAMMO also has the ability to assess several types of ammunition and dismantle any retired ammunition from service. Currently 7.62mm, 5.56mm, and 9mm ammunition is manufactured but I would like to see them eventually manufacturing 12.7mm, 20mm, 30mm, 60mm, 81mm, 120mm, and 105mm ammunition. This will reduce the reliance of the Jordanian armed forces when it comes to ammunition procurement.
JMSS Developing a tracked APC/IFV- Mission, JMSS offers a complete vehicle, metal fabrication finishing services. The Company cements its leadership role through the provision of high quality work, on time delivery, and cost effectiveness for a wide range of products and services and assures guaranteed customer satisfaction. This is ensured through the Company’s qualified management team that combines the required skills, expertise and multi-disciplinary professionals with focus in the fields of engineering and manufacturing. I would like to see a tracked vehicle that will replace their M113s/M113 IFVs in service. Again, I think this could be done with Ukraine as they have a lot of experience from a whole lot of time. If a JV could be done it would be beneficial for both parties who would be able to replace all of their older tracked vehicles.
