Moreover, the system includes radars, command-and-control stations, and advanced networking capability,\u201d Schwer said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On Sept. 14, drone swarms and low-altitude cruise missiles attacked Saudi Arabia\u2019s Abqaiq and Khurais oil facilities. The installed air defense systems were unable to stop the assault.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schwer explained that the new system is based on a modular concept and can be deployed as a stationery platform or as a mobile one. \u201cWe are testing the effectiveness to tailor the solution for the various applications because it makes a difference whether you put it on the borderline, civil airport, mosques or football stadium in the middle of the town, or a military site outside,\u201d the executive explained.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Schwer confirmed the system will be available for export.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Saudi Arabian Military Industries is working on a new national counter-drone system to address asymmetric threats to
