King Abdul Aziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) is localizing techniques for guided short-range ballistic missiles and multi-purpose bombs, according to Dr. Khalid bin Abdullah Al-Hussan, the General Supervisor of Special Programs and Supervisor of the Aerospace Research Institute City.
The team, which oversees the three projects of the city, recently announced that "Matar 2", "Matar 3" and "Matar 4" missiles, consisting of 40 Saudi engineers, are working on transferring experience and success of the series of experiments, adding that "There is interest and help from the work of international companies to contribute to the transfer and localisation of technology to Saudi Arabia".
He pointed out the success of the city in conducting a series of experiments and tests on the three projects. He pointed out that the transfer and localisation of missile and bomb technology transfer projects have been an extension of the city's projects in the transfer and localisation of technologies that constitute value added and achieve sustainable development in line with the National Transformation 2020 program, emanating from the Kingdom's "Vision 2030".
Al-Hussan confirmed that the use of the "Matar 3" and "Matar 4" and the bomb "MARK84" and "Matar 2", is characterized by high efficiency, using modern technology, pointing out that the missiles can be launched from ground platforms or from helicopters and unmanned aircrafts, they are also used for defense systems in land, sea and air.
In particular details, the short-range Matar 4 missile is guided by laser technology and operates with a solid fuel engine. It features a speed of up to Mach 1.2, it has a length of 1 meter,a diameter of 178 mm and a weight of 50 kilograms with an explosive load of 10 kilograms and ten kilometers It can be launched from a ground-to-ground or air-to-ground platform, from helicopters for example.
The Saqr-1 UAV system uses one of the most modern laser-based missiles to track the target by laser beams reflected from the target, and has been designed for several purposes, including as an anti-tank weapon.
The Matar 3 is a short-range ballistic missile powered by a solid fuel engine featuring an ultrasonic speed of "Mach 2", with a length of 1.75 m, a diameter of 100 mm, a weight of 26 kg, an explosive capacity of 4 kilograms and a range of 12 kilometers, a ground-to-ground missile, it can be launched from a multi-missile platform, and can be used as an air-to-ground missile by unmanned aerial vehicles. The main systems that make up the Matar 3 missile system is a launcher, rocket engine, shell, and altimeter sensor with a launch control box.
With regard to multi-purpose bombs, Al Madina has developed the MARK84 bomb project through the transfer and localisation of the MK84 multi-purpose free fall projectiles. The city has improved its performance by installing a solid-fuel rocket engine, guidance systems and wings to control the Air movement to increase lethality, accuracy and range.
The Mark 84 is a multi-purpose, unmanned, unguided bomb that is part of a series of 80 Mark's most common bombs. The bomb weighs 2039 pounds (925 kilograms), including 945 inches (429 kilograms) of high explosive material.
King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) recently offered a package of military and security projects during its participation in the Armed Forces Exhibition to Support Local Manufacturing (AFED 2018) at its fourth session organized by the Ministry of Defense at Riyadh International Exhibition and Convention Center. In its pavilion, the city presented the technologies that were relocated and settled in Saudi Arabia.
During the exhibition, the city revelled 40 technical projects that highlighted its efforts in the transfer and development of the Kingdom's important technologies in the fields of space and aviation, satellites, rocket production, electronics and communications, water and energy, innovation and industry, and advanced materials.
There was an introduction of capacity specialists of the Innovation Center for Industry 4, which provides support services in the areas of infrastructure and capacity enhancement, advisory services in the fields of performance improvement, training and engineering, technical and administrative development, utilization of industrial and engineering tools and programs, Structuring, providing investment opportunities in coordination with companies, access to the latest technologies in the industrial and engineering field and their experience, and provides product development service.
